Abstract：
The Philippines is a source of labor for many countries. Roughly 10 million overseas Filipinos are working and living outside of the Philippines. This paper examines the association between sociodemographic characteristics (sex, age, educational level, and income) and self-rated physical and mental health, access to healthcare, and health habits among immigrant Filipinos living in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain. Through convenience sampling, Filipino migrants (n = 103) aged 18 years and above participated in the online survey between October 2022 and March 2023. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis and chi-square. Almost all respondents self-rated their health as excellent and very good. Female respondents are more affected by mental health. Most are enrolled in the Universal Health System of Spain (public insurance). There is more utilization of private health insurance among respondents aged 60 years and above and high-wage earners. Cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking are associated with males. More than half of the respondents perform weekly exercise occasionally or never. These findings suggest a potential need for targeted interventions with an emphasis on the practice of preventive health and the promotion of healthy lifestyles, especially among financially disadvantaged migrants with lesser health access.
摘要：
菲律宾是许多国家的劳动力来源。大约有1000万海外菲律宾人在菲律宾境外工作和生活。本文考察了社会人口统计学特征(性别，年龄,教育水平,和收入)和自我评估的身心健康，获得医疗保健，生活在圣克鲁斯德特内里费岛的菲律宾人的健康习惯，西班牙。通过方便的采样，年龄在18岁及以上的菲律宾移民（n=103）在2022年10月至2023年3月期间参加了在线调查。采用描述性统计分析和卡方法分析数据。几乎所有受访者都将自己的健康状况评为优秀和非常好。女性受访者更容易受到心理健康的影响。大多数人都参加了西班牙的全民卫生系统（公共保险）。在60岁及以上的受访者和高收入者中，私人健康保险的利用率更高。吸烟和饮酒与男性有关。超过一半的受访者每周偶尔或从不进行锻炼。这些发现表明，可能需要有针对性的干预措施，重点是预防性健康和促进健康的生活方式，特别是在经济上处于不利地位的移民中，他们获得的健康机会较少。
