abstract: 'OBJECTIVES: to evaluate self-perceived health status of immigrants in
Italy.
DESIGN: cross-sectional study based on the representative national
samples of the multipurpose surveys ``Health conditions and use of
health services{''''} conducted in 2005 and 2013 by the Italian National
Institute of Statistics (Istat).
SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: the study was conducted on the age group of
18-64: No. 80,661 in 2005, among which 3.2\% were immigrants, and No.
72,476 in 2013, among which 7.1\% were immigrants.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: prevalence rate ratios (PRR) calculated through
log-binomial regression models, stratified by survey edition and gender,
by evaluating the association between the Physical Component Score
(PCS), the Mental Component Component Score (MCS), and the overall
health index and citizenship. Adjustment for the following confounding
factors was performed: age, educational level, working condition,
perceived economic resources, body mass index (BMI).
RESULTS: in 2005, immigrants had a lower probability of poor-perceived
physical health, both among men (PRR: 0.79; 95\%CI 0.70-0.89) and women
(PRR: 0.89; 95\%CI 0.820.97), compared to Italians. In 2013, the
perceived health advantage of immigrants was reduced for both genders
(PRR males: 0.87; 95\%CI 0.80-0.95; PRR females: 0.94; 95\%Cl
0.88-0.99). In the considered period, the prevalence of people with
worse mental health conditions increases, with lower PRR among
immigrants, compared to Italians. Higher probability of ``NOT good{''''}
overall perceived health was also observed among immigrants residing in
Italy for at least 10 years (PRR men: 1.24; PRR women: 1.15) and among
immigrants men from America (PRR: 1.35).
CONCLUSIONS: from 2005 to 2013, immigrants seemed to maintain a better
perception of health status than Italians. Nevertheless, study results
show a decrease in self-perceived health, particularly mental health, in
the considered period - apart from demographic, socioeconomic, and
lifestyle factors - as well as a worse overall self-perceived health
status among immigrants who stayed in Italy longer. Such results lead to
suppose that the ``healthy migrant effect{''''} tends to disappear over
time, maybe due to the world financial crisis. Unemployment increases
and lower income also made the access to medical care more difficult,
particularly among the most fragile population groups, including
migrants. In this context it is essential to promote health policies
supporting equity of access to healthy lifestyles and effective health
services, which are fundamental to reduce health inequalities.'
