The Healthy Immigrant Paradox and Health Convergence (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
The Healthy Immigrant Paradox refers to the observation that immigrants tend to arrive in a new country in better health than the native-born population, despite facing numerous challenges. This phenomenon has significant implications for public health policies, healthcare access, and health disparities as immigrants acclimate to their new environment, often leading to a convergence in health outcomes over time. The paper explores various factors contributing to this paradox, including socioeconomic status, cultural differences, and healthcare access, while also examining the potential long-term health implications for immigrant populations.
