This study aimed to compare factors related to changes in perceived health status of Han Chinese (traditional Chinese) and Korean-Chinese (Chinese nationals of Korean descent) women after immigration to Korea. During summer 2013, a survey was conducted with 151 Han and 158 Korean-Chinese women married to Korean men. Most of the respondents reported either no changes (82%) or positive changes (18%) in their perceived health status after immigration. The results of the multiple logistic regression analyses indicated healthy dietary behavior was related to positive changes in the perceived health status of both groups (odds ratio [OR] = 7.4 for Han Chinese; OR = 14.6 for Korean-Chinese). Among Han Chinese women, the length of residence in Korea and the change in perceived health status showed a negative relation (OR = 0.2). In contrast, their level of acculturation and health perception were positive (OR = 7.5). However, these results did not apply to the Korean-Chinese women. In conclusion, factors related to changes in perceived health status differed between the 2 groups although they shared healthy dietary behaviors as a common factor. Therefore, policies and programs aimed at promoting immigrant women's health should consider the differences between Han Chinese and Korean-Chinese.

“…Consequently, Korean society must help the immigrants to adapt to the Korean cuisine [32]. Due to the close relationship between migrant lifestyle and diet, which has an impact on their health, diet adaptation is crucial [32][33][34]. Dietary acculturation, which is a complex and dynamic process that affects the development of eating habits in a new context, was named by Colby, Morrison, and Haldeman as the term for changes related to eating habits and dietary patterns [35][36].…”

Many foreigners living in South Korea faces various problems in their daily lives, such as language barriers, cultural differences, etc. This also applies to making food orders via mobile applications. A lot of foreigners have difficulties using food delivery apps for various reasons. The purpose of this study is to create a functional design of food delivery app for foreigners based on a survey. As a part of this study, we conducted a survey among foreign residents in South Korea to identify and analyze user needs. After analyzing the survey results, we proposed a mobile app design based on user experience. As a result, we created a new design interface that includes a full English translation of the entire menu and information about food allergens. Besides, information about nutrients, ingredient' origin, the pungency indicator and the label of vegan and halal food also have been added to the application interface.
