(1) To analyse differences in the self-perceived health and mental health status between the Spanish population and immigrants from the seven leading countries in terms of number of immigrants; (2) to examine whether differences are accounted for by socio-economic characteristics, and (3) to determine whether the patterns of associations differ by gender.
Data come from the 2006 Spanish National Health Survey. The sample was composed of all 20-64 year old Spaniards and immigrants from the seven countries with most immigrants in Spain (Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Romania and Morocco) [n=20,731].
In both sexes, people from Bolivia had poorer health outcomes, above all Bolivian males. Conversely, people from Argentina and Colombia had the best health outcomes. For the rest of the countries varied results depending on gender, country and health indicator were found.
Differences in health status between people born in Spain and foreign-born people depend on relationships between country of birth, characteristics of the migration process, gender, ethnicity and the health outcome analyzed.
(1) 分析以移民人数为指标的西班牙本地居民与来自七个主要移民国家的移民之间自我感知健康和心理健康状况的差异；(2) 检验社会经济特征是否可以解释这些差异；(3) 确定不同性别群体的关联模式是否存在差异。
数据来自于 2006 年西班牙国家健康调查。样本由所有 20-64 岁的西班牙本地居民和来自西班牙七个主要移民国家（阿根廷、玻利维亚、哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔、秘鲁、罗马尼亚和摩洛哥）的移民组成[n=20,731]。
在两性中，玻利维亚移民的健康结果都较差，尤其是玻利维亚男性。相反，来自阿根廷和哥伦比亚的移民健康结果最好。对于其余国家，根据性别、国家和健康指标的不同，结果也有所不同。
出生在西班牙的人与外国出生的人之间的健康状况差异取决于出生地、移民过程特征、性别、种族和分析的健康结果之间的关系。
