Objective: To investigate functional limitations and life satisfaction among Asian-born migrants and Australian-born participants in the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) study.
Methods: Information on 10 167 Australian-born participants and 650 Asian-born migrants from Waves 6 to 16 (2006-2016) of HILDA was analysed using multivariate linear regressions, adjusting for baseline covariates.
Results: Middle-aged and older Asian-born migrants had a lower decline in functional limitations compared to the Australian-born participants (-1.74 vs -4.47 during the 5-year period and -5.66 vs -8.50 during the 10-year period). Decline in life satisfaction scores was relatively stable among older Australian-born participants, but there was a steeper decline among Asian-born migrants in the 5-year period. Notably, relative change was not statistically significant for both outcomes.
Conclusion: This study reveals that middle-aged and older Asian-born migrants had less decline in physical health but not in life satisfaction. Monitoring health and well-being of migrants as they age could help to minimise health disparities in Australia.

Background: Asian-born MSM are a priority population as Australia aims to end HIV transmission, but they reported additional barriers to access PrEP and other HIV prevention methods. This study investigates factors associated with PrEP use among Asian MSM in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, to inform strategies to improve PrEP uptake in this population.
Methods: This was a sub-analysis of a community-based cross-sectional survey conducted from March to June 2021.

Background: Bystander response, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), is critical to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival. Nearly 30% of Australian residents were born overseas, and little is known about their preparedness to perform CPR. In this mixed-methods study, we examined rates of training and willingness and barriers to performing CPR among immigrants in Australia.

The HIV epidemic in Australia is changing with higher risk for HIV among newly-arrived Asian-born men who have sex with men (MSM) compared to Australian-born MSM. We evaluated the preferences for HIV prevention strategies among 286 Asian-born MSM living in Australia for <5 years. A latent class analysis uncovered three classes of respondents who were defined by their preferences: "PrEP" (52%), "Consistent condoms" (31%), and "No strategy" (17%).

Australia's population is growing, ageing and exhibiting increasing heterogeneity with respect to birthplace and ethnic composition. Yet, little is understood about the levels of English language proficiency among the next generation of older migrants in Australia. Utilising a modified cohort-component model incorporating detailed language proficiency transition probabilities, we project birthplace populations by levels of English language proficiency to mid-century.
