What is the healthy immigrant effect and how can it be explained
Healthy immigrant effect: when immigrants arrive to Canada they
typically arrive in better average health than those born in Canada. the
healthy immigrant effect appears to be strongest during adulthood
<10 years: better self-rated health status, less chronic disease and less
disability than native-born Canadians
,>10 years: health status converges or even overshoot the patterns in the
general non-aboriginal population
What are the causes of the healthy immigrant effect, and why does it
appear to decline over time
- the government of Canada uses individual health status as one of its
most important criteria to allow an individual to immigrate to Canada
- most immigrants are skilled workers and professionals
Over time:
- converging lifestyles
- stress associated with resettlement
- differential access to culturally competent and appropriate health care
