DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Chinese population in New York City (NYC) has nearly tripled in the past 20 years - making it the fastest growing race/ethnic group in NYC. Moreover, epidemiologic studies suggest that heart disease mortality rates differ sharply between Chinese living in NYC and those in China. These observations argue for the importance of understanding the impact of immigration and acculturation on heart disease risk status through changes in health habits and psychosocial factors in this growing part of the US population. The proposed study will conduct a community-based survey to assess association of health habits, stress and socioeconomic status and heart disease risk among Chinese immigrants in NYC. The goal is to identify the impact of immigration and acculturation on behavior and heart disease risk. In addition, this study may also provide insights applicable to other immigrant groups to better understand heart disease risk patterns in the context of the changing environment associated with immigration.

描述（由申请人提供）：纽约市 (NYC) 的华人人口在过去 20 年中几乎增加了两倍 - 使其成为纽约市增长最快的种族/族裔群体。此外，流行病学研究表明，居住在纽约市的华人与居住在中国的华人之间的心脏病死亡率存在显着差异。这些观察结果表明，通过不断增长的美国人口中健康习惯和社会心理因素的变化，了解移民和文化适应对心脏病风险状况的影响非常重要。拟议的研究将进行一项基于社区的调查，以评估纽约市中国移民的健康习惯、压力和社会经济状况以及心脏病风险之间的关系。目标是确定移民和文化适应对行为和心脏病风险的影响。此外，这项研究还可能提供适用于其他移民群体的见解，以更好地了解与移民相关的不断变化的环境背景下的心脏病风险模式。
