Description
Christina Miyawaki and co-authors examine links between disability, chronic disease, and depressive symptoms in older Vietnamese adults. Their 2023 study uses a population that is large in the United States yet rarely studied for health.
After the fall of Saigon in 1975, waves of Vietnamese immigrants and refugees came to the United States, now the fourth-largest Asian-origin subgroup. The team built the Vietnamese Aging and Care Survey and collected data in Houston, Texas. Respondents numbered 210, with a mean age of seventy-six. Most were married, spoke only Vietnamese, and lived in multigenerational homes. The analysis tests how physical disability and chronic disease relate to depressive symptoms.
