The present study examined changes in the perceived health of older Korean Americans (n = 141) over a 2-year 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 follow-up. Findings highlight the importance of interventions for disease management and mental health promotion to enhance subjective health among older Korean immigrants.

ResumenFundamento: La prevalencia de depresión en portadores de enfermedad arterial coronaria (EAC) es alta. La escala de depresión geriátrica (EDG) es un instrumento ampliamente utilizado para rastrear la depresión en adultos mayores. En Brasil, las propiedades psicométricas de la versión corta aún no fueron adecuadamente estudiadas.Objetivo: Evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión corta de la EDG en portadores de EAC en ambulatorio de cardiología. La depresión se asocia además con la disminución de la capacidad funcional 6 , con peor evaluación del estado de salud y de la calidad de vida 7 y con el aumento de los costos relacionados al cuidado de la salud 2 . MétodosA pesar de las evidencias, la depresión frecuentemente es ignorada por profesionales de la salud y, más aún, no es tratada. Apenas la mitad de los cardiólogos refiere haber tratado la depresión en sus pacientes. El uso de instrumentos validados, pero de aplicación simple, puede auxiliar a los profesionales a identificar una depresión en los portadores de coronariopatía, en la práctica clínica de rutina 8 . La escala de depresión geriátrica (EDG)9 es uno de los instrumentos más utilizados en el mundo para rastrear depresión en adultos mayores, tanto en el contexto clínico como en trabajos de investigación. Estudios en diferentes culturas 10-13 sostienen que la EDG es un instrumento con buena validez y confiabilidad. La versión corta, con 15 ítems, IntroducciónLa enfermedad cardiaca se asocia frecuentemente a la depresión. En aproximadamente un 20% de los pacientes con enfermedad arterial coronaria (EAC) y en infartados 1 se observa una depresión grave. La prevalencia es aún mayor cuando son consideradas las formas menos graves de depresión.Luego del infarto agudo de miocardio, la depresión se asocia al riesgo aumentado de complicaciones cardiovasculares fatales y no fatales 2,3 .

“…The cutoff score to determine the presence of depressive symptoms is 21 (Noh et al, 1992). The usual cutoff score is 16, but 21 was selected for this study while following the recommendation by previous studies among Asian Americans (Jang, Kim, & Chiriboga, 2005).…”

The benefits of physical activities on depressive symptoms have increasingly been reported in the literature, but the effect through which a Web-based physical activity promotion program alleviates depressive symptoms is not clearly known, especially among ethnic minority midlife women. The purpose of this pilot randomized control study is to examine the preliminary efficacy of the Web-based physical activity promotion program in enhancing the depressive symptoms of Asian American midlife women through increasing physical activity. This study adopted a randomized repeated measures pretest/posttest control group design. This study consisted of two groups of research participants: 18 in an intervention group and 15 in a control group. By using multiple instruments, the participants' background and health status, depressive symptom experience, and physical activity experience were measured at three time points (pre-, post 1-month, and post 3-months). The data were analyzed using a modified intent-to-treat linear mixed-model growth curve analysis. After controlling for covariates, random intercept, and random slope, only discrimination stress showed statistical significances in the group effect (0.18, p = .08 for control) and time effect (-0.04, p = .04), but not in the group × time effect (p = .51). The active living habits scores showed statistical significances in the group effect (0.82, p < 0.01 for control), time effect (0.29, p < 0.01), and group × time effect (-0.31, p = 0.03 for control). Findings support the significant effect of the Web-based physical activity promotion program on the women's discrimination stress and active living habits. Keywords: web-based intervention, depression, physical activity, midlife women, Asian AmericanWith an increasing number of aging racial/ethnic minorities in the United States (Institute of Medicine, 2008), depression has become an important issue in midlife racial/ethnic minorities. Racial/ethnic minorities often tend not to recognize and/or treat depression (Lagomasino et al., 2005;Sin, Jordan, & Park, 2011). Furthermore, racial/ethnic minority immigrants are less likely to be diagnosed compared with non-immigrants, even with those from the same race/ethnicity (Gwynn et al., 2008). Immigrants hardly seek treatment or management of their depression and prematurely quit treatment or management of their depression (Lagomasino et al., 2005;Sin et al., 2011).
