“…In addition to robust and engaging social networks, older adults can improve their health and well‐being through health‐promoting behaviors, such as physical activity, good nutrition, and stress management, which can lead to successful aging (Kim & Sohn, ). To date, studies of older adult immigrants in the USA have primarily examined their physical and mental health, along with QOL, to describe the immigrants’ health status and cultural adaptation (Jang, Chiriboga, Kim, & Cho, ; Roh, Lee, Lee, & Martin, ). Although a few studies have identified the relationship between some aspects of older immigrants’ social determinants of health and QOL (Kim, ; Park, Roh, & Yeo, ), to date, no studies have tried to specifically compare the associations between the social networks, health‐promoting behaviors, and HRQOL of South Korean older adults and Korean immigrants living in the USA.…”
