A cross-sectional descriptive study was done using the Acculturation Rating scale of Arab Americans-II, and the Health Promotion and Lifestyle Profile II to assess the relationship between acculturation and health promotion practices among Arab Americans. Findings showed that attraction to American culture was the most important predictor of physical activity; whereas attraction to Arabic culture was the most important predictor of stress management and nutritional practices. Results suggest that, when demographics are controlled, acculturation predicts various health promotion practices in different patterns among members of this group. These findings contribute to a better understanding of acculturation's influence on immigrants' health promotion practices.
一项横断面描述性研究采用了阿拉伯裔美国人文化适应评定量表-II以及健康促进与生活方式概况-II，以评估阿拉伯裔美国人的文化适应与健康促进实践之间的关系。研究结果表明，对美国文化的吸引力是身体活动的最重要预测因素；而对阿拉伯文化的吸引力是压力管理和营养实践的最重要预测因素。结果表明，在控制人口统计学因素后，文化适应以不同模式预测该群体成员的各种健康促进实践。这些发现有助于更好地理解文化适应对移民健康促进实践的影响。
