Abstract There is a lack of empirical evidence on self-reported discrimination and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Further, the mechanism linking the two constructs is not well understood. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-reported discrimination and OHRQoL and investigate resilience as a mediator in such a relationship among foreign-born older Chinese Americans. Data came from the Population Study of Chinese Elderly in Chicago collected between 2017 and 2019. The working sample included 3,054 foreign-born Chinese Americans (60+ years of age). Mediation analysis was conducted to examine the direct and indirect pathways towards OHRQoL. Self-reported discrimination was directly and indirectly associated with poorer OHRQoL. Resilience mediated the relationship between self-reported discrimination and OHRQoL. Specifically, individuals experienced discrimination reported weaker resilience, and subsequently, reported poorer OHRQoL. Findings illustrate the importance of studying self-reported discrimination in relation to OHRQoL and further identify resilience as an intermediary pathway to promote OHRQoL.

Abstract Very few studies have compared oral health status between the US-born and foreign-born immigrant older adults. Using data collected among 430 Chinese older adults age 55+ residing in Hawai’i, we examined the association between immigrant status and oral health related quality of life (OHQoL) and the moderating role of resilience in linking the association. Controlling for some key covariates, our study results show that US-born Chinese immigrant older adults had better OHQoL than their foreign born counterparts. Factors such as higher level of education (graduate degree or higher), better self-reported health status and no significant tooth loss were related to better OHQoL. The association between immigrant status and OHQoL was moderated by resilience. Specially, resilience was positively and significantly associated with OHQoL among U.S.-born older adults but not among the foreign-born ones. Our findings indicate the importance of immigration and resilience in shaping oral health outcomes among older Chinese Americans.
