KEY FINDINGS: Data from the National Health Interview Survey, 2010-2014 •Non-Hispanic Asian adults were less likely than all U.S. adults to be in fair or poor health, have multiple chronic conditions, have serious psychological distress in the past 30 days, or be limited in work or social participation. •Chinese adults reported better health on all five measures in this report compared with all U.S. adults. •Chinese adults (11.3%) were less likely than Filipino (22.3%), Asian Indian (16.9%), Japanese (16.8%), or Vietnamese (15.6%) adults to have multiple chronic conditions. •Chinese (1.8%) and Asian Indian (1.5%) adults were about one-half as likely as Japanese adults (4.1%) to have a work limitation. •Chinese (2.4%), Japanese (2.2%), and Vietnamese (2.4%) adults were about one-half as likely as Korean adults (4.6%) to be limited in social participation.
