A qualitative investigation of the impact of nature walking on the health benefits achieved by older Korean immigrants living in U.S.
Our findings underscore the importance of culturally sensitive leisure activities such as nature walking that significantly enhance the psychological, social, and physical health of older Korean immigrants. These insights are valuable for designing targeted health promotion interventions whose goal is to improve the quality of life and facilitate the healthy aging of this population.
