Changing patterns of migration to Australia and their influence on the health of migrants

Migration and differences in dietary habits—a cross sectional study of Finnish twins in Sweden

“…In general, our results indicate major differences in eating habits between migrants and co-twins living in Finland in line with known differences between Sweden and Finland. This is consistent with previous migrant studies showing a major impact on behavioural factors and health by international migration (Robertson et al, 1977;Rogot, 1978;Keil et al, 1980;Krupinski, 1984;Rosenthal et al, 1989;Salmond et al, 1989;Green et al, 1991), and suggest that dietary factors may play an important role in this context. Emigrants from Finland to Sweden have been found to have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease compared with native Swedes (Sundquist and Johansson, 1997;Gadd et al, 2003).…”

The sociocultural and psychological adaptation of Chinese migrant adolescents in Australia and Canada

“…Researchers (Brown, Stein, Huang, & Harris, 1973;Lin & Ensel, 1984;Lin et al, 1979) found that social support was positively associated with mental health among Chinese immigrants in North America. Similar trends were found in other immigrant groups in Australia (Krupinski, 1984;Williams & Carmichael, 1985). Sam and Berry (1995) found that close contact with parents predicted positive mental health among migrant children in Norway.…”
