摘要

有证据表明,移民通常比本地出生的人更健康——所谓的“移民健康悖论”——这种优势可能会延伸到他们孩子的健康。一个经常被引用但很少被检验的解释是“选择性假说”,它假设移民更健康是由于基于健康或社会经济地位(SES)的起源选择。利用2007-19年西班牙出生登记,我们调查了移民和本地人在出生时健康方面的差距,以及移民的教育选择性是否可以解释这一差距。我们发现,移民出生的婴儿低出生体重(LBW)的可能性较小,但在巨大儿和胎龄方面处于不利地位。即使在考虑了父母的社会经济地位后,选择性也与LBW的降低有关,这解释了北非和拉丁美洲移民的孩子风险较低,但在其他父母出生国群体中却没有。选择性与其他生育结果无关。我们证实了选择性假设,但质疑其在群体和健康结果中的普遍性。

Explaining immigrant-native differences in health at birth: The role of immigrant selectivity in Spain.

Evidence shows that immigrants are often in better health than the native born-the so-called 'immigrant health paradox'-and this advantage may extend to their children's health. A commonly cited but rarely tested explanation is the 'selectivity hypothesis', positing that immigrants are healthier due to selection at origin based on health or socio-economic status (SES). Using 2007-19 Spanish birth registries, we investigate immigrant-native gaps in health at birth and whether they are explained by immigrants' educational selectivity. We find that babies born to immigrants are less likely to be low birthweight (LBW) but are disadvantaged in terms of macrosomia and gestational age. Selectivity is associated with reduced LBW even after accounting for parental SES, explaining the lower risk among children of Northern African and Latin American immigrants but not across other parental country-of-birth groups. Selectivity is not associated with other birth outcomes. We confirm the selectivity hypothesis but question its universality across groups and health outcomes.

期刊介绍: For over half a century, Population Studies has reported significant advances in methods of demographic analysis, conceptual and mathematical theories of demographic dynamics and behaviour, and the use of these theories and methods to extend scientific knowledge and to inform policy and practice. The Journal"s coverage of this field is comprehensive: applications in developed and developing countries; historical and contemporary studies; quantitative and qualitative studies; analytical essays and reviews. The subjects of papers range from classical concerns, such as the determinants and consequences of population change, to such topics as family demography and evolutionary and genetic influences on demographic behaviour.
