The present study examined changes in the perceived health of older Korean Americans n = 141 over a 2year period 2003 T1 and 2005 T2 A hierarchical regression model of changes in perceived health was estimated with the following array of predictors 1 background variables age gender marital status education and length of stay in the United States 2 initial perceived health T1 3 physical and mental health conditions at T1 chronic conditions functional disability and depressive symptoms and 4 changes in physical and mental health conditions T2 − T1 When the effects of background variables and baseline perceived health were controlled baseline chronic conditions and changes in both chronic conditions and depressive symptoms were found to predict changes in perceived health Older individuals who initially had more chronic conditions and those who had experienced an increasing number of chronic conditions and depressive symptoms over 2 years viewed their health more negatively at followup Findings highlight the importance of interventions for disease management and mental health promotion to enhance subjective health among older Korean immigrants
