Do migrants always live longer than natives? : Finnish migrants in Sweden

In France, immigrants have a lower mortality risk than the native-born population—a seemingly surprising outcome given that they generally come from more socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds. One reason for this is that migrants are among the healthier individuals in their countries of origin. Do we ob- serve the same paradox when immigrants and natives are born in similar countries? This is the question Olof Östergren and his colleagues ask as they examine the mortality risk of Finnish immigrants in Sweden.Peer reviewe
