To estimate the prevalence rates of chronic disorders in immigrants and to compare them with those in the native population, based on electronic clinical records in primary care (ECRPC).
We performed a descriptive cross-sectional study in patients aged 16 and over included in the Madrid Regional Public Health System. Age-adjusted prevalence rates for each sex and region were estimated on the basis of medically examined cases registered in the ECRPC with any new data entry made in 2005 or 2006.
After age-adjustment, a total of 36.8% immigrants had some chronic health problem (vs. 55.3% natives). These disorders were more frequent among women and among the population from Africa and Latin America. The highest overall prevalence rates in the foreign population were allergy (10.2% crude rate), low-back pain (9.1%), chronic skin problems (6.8%) and mental disorders (6.4%).
The prevalence rate of chronic disease is lower in the foreign population and differs according to sex and country of origin.
基于基层医疗电子临床记录（ECRPC），估算移民中慢性疾病的患病率，并与本国人口的患病率进行比较。
我们对马德里地区公共卫生系统中16岁及以上的患者进行了一项描述性横断面研究。根据2005年或2006年录入的任何新数据，在ECRPC中登记的经过医学检查的病例，估算每个性别和地区的年龄调整患病率。
年龄调整后，共有36.8%的移民患有某种慢性健康问题（相比之下，本国人口为55.3%）。这些疾病在女性以及来自非洲和拉丁美洲的人群中更为常见。外国人群中总体患病率最高的是过敏（粗患病率10.2%）、腰痛（9.1%）、慢性皮肤问题（6.8%）和精神障碍（6.4%）。
外国人群中慢性病的患病率较低，且因性别和原籍国而异。
