Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of death in China and Korea, yet little is known about in Korean Chinese workers. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of CVD awareness and mental health on health behaviors and evaluate the moderating effect of mental health on the relationship between CVD awareness and health behaviors among Korean Chinese workers.

Method: We used a cross-sectional design and convenience sampling of participants from Seoul in December 2021. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, independent tests, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis.

Results: CVD awareness, mental health, and health behaviors were relatively low and mental health showed a moderating effect on the relationship between the two variables.

Discussion: Understanding relationships between CVD awareness, socioculturally mediated health behaviors, and mental health issues is critical to CVD prevention among participants; moreover, mental health should be specifically assessed and targeted for improvement.

A variety of symptoms may be observed, including headaches, fluctuations in mental status, ataxia, muscle weakness, nausea and vomiting, seizures, visual changes, speech disorders, and sensory abnormalities. The World Health Organization (WHO) has a grading system for meningiomas based on histological criteria, which is as follows: Grade 1 meningiomas are considered benign; Grade 2 meningiomas have a moderately aggressive nature and usually present with histological atypia; and Grade 3 meningiomas exhibit aggressive malignant behavior.
