Abstract
There are many areas of women's health at midlife in which little is known, such as their health promotion practices and the subsequent effects on their health and longevity. The purpose of this study was to describe the health promotion behaviors of Korean immigrant women at midlife. It examined the relationships among midlife changes, role quality, resources (income, time in the U.S., English proficiency, health care coverage, health services use), knowledge of midlife health, reflection on midlife and health, and health promotion behaviors (lifestyle, health screening, current health practices). The study employed a cross-sectional survey design of 120 Korean immigrant women between 45 to 64 years of age living in Los Angeles County, who were not pregnant and had not had a hysterectomy.
