In the present study, we examine whether the relationships between country of origin or reason for migration and mortality differ between men and women.
We apply hazard regression models on high-quality Swedish register data with nationwide coverage.
Relative to their Swedish counterparts, migrants from Nordic and East European (EU) countries and former Yugoslavia have higher mortality. This excess mortality among migrants relative to Swedes is more pronounced in men than in women. Migrants from Western and Southern European countries; Iran, Iraq, and Turkey; Central and South America; and Asia, have lower mortality than Swedes, and the size of the mortality reduction is similar in both sexes. The predictive effects of the reason for migration for mortality are also similar in migrant men and women.
This study provides little support for the hypothesis of a double survival advantage among immigrant women in Sweden. However, it does show that the excess mortality in migrants from Nordic and EU countries and former Yugoslavia relative to the Swedish-born population is more pronounced in men than in women.
本研究旨在检验移民的原籍国或移民原因与死亡率之间的关系在男性和女性之间是否存在差异。
我们应用基于具有全国覆盖范围的高质量瑞典登记数据的风险回归模型。
与瑞典人相比，来自北欧和东欧（欧盟）国家以及前南斯拉夫的移民死亡率更高。与瑞典人相比，这种移民的超额死亡率在男性中比在女性中更为明显。来自西欧和南欧国家；伊朗、伊拉克和土耳其；中美洲和南美洲；以及亚洲的移民死亡率低于瑞典人，而且这种死亡率降低的幅度在两性中相似。移民原因对死亡率的预测作用在男性和女性移民中也相似。
本研究几乎没有支持瑞典移民女性存在双重生存优势的假设。然而，它确实表明，与瑞典出生人口相比，来自北欧和欧盟国家以及前南斯拉夫的移民的超额死亡率在男性中比在女性中更为明显。
