Asian elders are less happy, get less support than elders of other races, study shows

“There’s much that we don’t know about our older adults, and these results show they aren’t doing as well as people may perceive,” the study's lead researcher said.

Asian American elders experience significantly lower life satisfaction and receive less emotional support than their peers of other races, according to a recent study published in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine.

The research, published in January and peer-reviewed, draws on 2018 data from the California Health Interview Survey, the largest state health survey in the U.S. The sample consisted of nearly 8,200 individuals 65 years and older, including people of Chinese, Korean, Filipino and Vietnamese descent.

“We know it’s a common misconception that Asians are doing better than other racial groups,” Riti Shimkhada, the study’s lead researcher and a senior research scientist at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, told NBC Asian America. “There’s much that we don’t know about our older adults, and these results show they aren’t doing as well as people may perceive.”

Only 54 percent of Asian American older adults surveyed said they were satisfied with their lives, compared with 80 percent of respondents of other races and ethnicities. Similarly, 56 percent of Asian American elders reported usually or always receiving needed social and emotional support — a significantly lower share than the 80 percent of people of other groups. Shimkhada said there are no significant differences based on income level or household size.

Among Asian Americans, Korean elders reported the lowest level of life satisfaction, at 40 percent. Less than one-third of Korean participants said they received needed social and emotional support, compared to nearly two-thirds of Chinese and Filipino respondents.

DJ Ida, executive director of the National Asian American Pacific Islander Mental Health Association, said a number of social and cultural factors make aging a particularly agonizing process for people from marginalized communities.

“In general, mental health needs increase as people get older,” she said, noting that physical and emotional exhaustion, as well “the sense of anxiety around the meaning of life,” all grow more acute with age. “But our health care facilities are not adequate for the needs of the Asian community.”

It used to be the pop culture that we can blame for it's influence.  However currently it's social media influence that we can blame for the mistreatment of others.  The culture gap is having such a great barrier rift that the human connection is just losing grounds.

Singaporean woman, 82, fears for her future after moving overseas to be with daughter who stopped caring for her

An elderly woman claims that her daughter refused to take care of her after she and her husband sold their Singapore home and moved to Australia to live with her.

The 82-year-old woman, Zhang Xiujin, said that her daughter, 56, originally asked her parents to move in with her in Australia after learning that her father, Zhang’s husband, was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, according to Shin Min Daily News. Zhang and her husband then sold their four-bedroom home in Marine Crescent, Singapore, and immigrated to Australia in 2018 with their savings.

Zhang's husband succumbed to his illness and passed away in March 2021, which Zhang explained was when her relationship with her daughter began to decline.

“She did not take good care of me and even hid some information about the returns on husband’s investments,” Zhang told Shin Min, who reported that she broke into tears several times while recounting her experience.

“Once when I was about to enter her house, my son-in-law grabbed me with both of his hands and dragged me away. After I was injured, I sought help from a neighbor, who called the police.”

After spending over two years with her daughter, Zhang made the decision to move back to Singapore in late March with the help of her nephew, who flew to Australia to bring Zhang back to Singapore. Zhang is now reportedly living alone in a hotel, as she has no permanent residence in Singapore after selling her home in 2018.
