Dynamics of immigrants' health - ARCHIVED

This summary provides highlights of an analysis that used eight years of longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey, 1994/95 to 2002/03. The analysis was part of an Internet publication Healthy Today, Healthy Tomorrow? Findings from the National Population Health Survey, Catalogue no. 82-618-MWE.

The analysis found that recent immigrants from non-European countries are twice as likely as the Canadian-born to experience deterioration in their health.
