Abstract

Purpose: Many previous studies have identified acculturation and socioeconomic factors influencing the psychological well-being of Korean immigrant elders. However, little is known about the role of limited English proficiency (LEP) on health status (physical functioning, social functioning, general mental health, and vitality) as well as moderating factors in the relationship between them. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore these topics.
