Italian-born migrants (post-WWII) are the largest non-English-speaking background migrant group in South Australia. A cross-sectional, inter-country comparison using independent samples (40-69 years of age) from two (one in Australia, one in Italy) similar risk factor and chronic disease surveillance systems. None of the three groups (Italians, Australian-born and Italian-born Australians) had definitively worse health although the Italians had high rates for four of the seven risk factors reported (current high blood pressure, current high cholesterol, current smoking, eating less than five fruit and/or vegetables per day) than Australian-born and Italian-born Australians. Italian-born Australians had higher rates for insufficient physical activity, overweight/obese, poor self-reported health and diabetes. Australian respondents were more likely to report having two or more drinks of alcohol per day. Issues facing an ageing population require appropriate health care needs and an assessment of structural or cultural barriers to health services.
出生于意大利的移民（二战后）是南澳大利亚最大的非英语背景移民群体。一项横断面的国家间比较，使用来自两个（一个在澳大利亚，一个在意大利）具有相似风险因素和慢性病监测系统的独立样本（40 - 69岁）。三组人群（意大利人、澳大利亚出生的人和出生于意大利的澳大利亚人）中没有一组的健康状况明显更差，尽管意大利人在所报告的七个风险因素中的四个（当前高血压、当前高胆固醇、当前吸烟、每天食用水果和/或蔬菜少于五种）上的发生率高于澳大利亚出生的人和出生于意大利的澳大利亚人。出生于意大利的澳大利亚人在身体活动不足、超重/肥胖、自我报告健康状况差和糖尿病方面的发生率更高。澳大利亚受访者更有可能报告每天饮用两种或更多酒精饮料。老龄化人口面临的问题需要适当的医疗保健需求以及对医疗服务的结构或文化障碍进行评估。
