The biosocial mod…

Cross-cultural, multidisciplinary perspectives on maximizing productive engagement of the ageing population
Asian American Elders in the Twenty-first Century: Key Indicators of Well-Being
Asian Americans make up a diverse ethnic group in the Unites States and are among the fastest growing population of adults sixty-five years and older. Most Asian Americans are either first-generation immigrants who grew up in the United States or individuals who joined their American families later in life. Yet despite the significant presence of Asian Americans in this country, adequate resources tracking their health over the life span are surp…
Health Status and Health Services Utilization Among Older Asian Indian Immigrants
Demographic Profiles of Asian Immigrant Elderly Residing in Metropolitan Ethnic Enclave Communities
This study reports the demographic characteristics of six groups of Asian American elders (Chinese, Korean, Indian, Filipino, Vietnamese, and Japanese) in a regional probability sample (n = 407). The findings confirm the heterogeneity of the Asian American elderly population, who differ in terms of demographics, immigration and acculturation experiences, language proficiency, educational attainment, and financial status. Findings point to the imp…
Acculturation Stress and Depression among Asian Immigrant Elders
This study examines the association between acculturation stress and depressive symptoms in a regional probability sample (n = 407) of six groups of Asian immigrant elders (Chinese, Korean, Indian, Filipino,Vietnamese, and Japanese). Findings suggest that about 40 percent of the sample were depressed, indicating higher depression rates than found in other studies of older American or Asian elderly samples in the United States and Asia. Multiple r…
Stress, Coping, and Depression Among Elderly Korean Immigrants
The effects of life stresses and social support on depressive symptoms in older Korean Americans (n = 67), recruited at senior centers and meal sites, were examined. Those who reported poorer health, who had more stressful life events, who were dissatisfied with help received from family members, and who reported few good friends were more likely to be depressed than those who did not. The impact of these factors on the quality of life of elderly…

Examination of epidemiological patterns suggests that the number of AIDS cases among Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders is increasing at a significant rate, in this paper the authors report the results of an AIDS needs assessment study conducted in a Chinese American community of a major U.S. metropolitan region. Seven hundred and nine Chinese American respondents completed questionnaires assessing differences in HTV/AIDS related knowledge and…
Physician Utilization by Hispanic Elderly Persons: National Perspective
BACKGROUND: The number of elderly Hispanic Americans is projected to more than double by 2010 and account for 16% of all elders by 2050. The complex health needs and diversity of that growing population poses challenges for planning and delivery of health services. OBJECTIVES: The behavioral model of health services utilization was used to examine predisposing, enabling, and need factors associated with physician use by Hispanic elders and to ass…
Psychological Well-Being Among Three Successive Cohorts of Older American Women Who Live Alone
This study uses a national probability sample to construct a profile of women in their late 60s, 70s, and 80s who are living alone and to compare correlates of psychological well-being for each age group. Measures include: (1) sociodemographics; (2) health and functioning; (3) social and psychological stressors; and (4) informal and formal supports. Results show that, overall, older women have high levels of psychological well-being. Health probl…

Coping Resources and Self-Reported Depressive Symptoms Among Frail Older Ethnic Women
This study uses data from the 1982-84 National Long-Term Care Channeling Demonstration to model the additive and interactive effects of health-related and social stressors and coping resources on self-reported depressive symptoms of frail, elderly African American (n = 900) and Hispanic (n = 146) women. Older white women are included as a reference group. Results indicate that older African American women report fewer depressive symptoms than the…
Perceived Health and Functional Status among Spouse Caregivers of Frail Older Persons
This national interview study examined the health impact of caring for frail elders in a sample of 437 spouse caregivers. The principal findings were that (a) caregiver emotional strain was the strongest common predictor of both poor perceived health and functional limitations, (b) wife caregivers' poor health was associated with care recipients' perceived unmet needs and increased depression, (c) husband caregivers' poor health status was predic…
In-home and community-based service utilization by three groups of elderly Hispanics: A national perspective
Using data from the 1988 National Survey of Hispanic Elderly People, this study examines among- and within-group needs and in-home and community-based service utilization by Mexican American, Cuban American, and Puerto Rican elderly people. The authors present a profile of the three groups and use logistic regression modeling to determine the predisposing, enabling, and needs-for-care factors associated with the utilization of each type of servic…
Multidimensional Predictors of Caregiver Strain among Older Persons Caring for Frail Spouses
Older persons caring for frail and disabled spouses in the community have special needs and concerns. When one spouse is incapacitated, the other spouse--if available and capable--will generally assume the role of primary caregiver (Mui, 1993; Stone, Cafferata, & Sangl, 1987). Even in , the face of their spouse's severe impairments, elderly spouse caregivers continue to provide the t bulk of care required by their disabled partners (Miller, 1990a…
