Older immigrants perceived health after migration to the United States: Influence of age and level of acculturation.

The oldest immigrant group (≥75 years) was more likely to report worse health after migration, but this association was no longer significant after accounting for acculturation level and other covariates. Future work should be undertaken to identify specific health needs across older immigrant age groups and identify acculturative stressors that negatively impact health.
