The "healthy immigrant effect" may apply to lifestyle-related behaviors in immigrant children. In a cross-sectional study of 1,959 children aged 9-12 years, the number of years lived in Canada was related to an increased risk of smoking among immigrant children. Interventions may be needed for immigrant children to prevent the adoption of unhealthy behaviors prevalent in their new host environments.
“健康移民效应”可能适用于移民儿童的与生活方式相关的行为。在一项对 1959 名 9-12 岁儿童的横断面研究中，移民儿童在加拿大的居住年限与吸烟风险增加有关。可能需要对移民儿童进行干预，以防止他们采用新的东道国环境中流行的不健康行为。
