“…CVD risks were reported to be lower in HAs vs locals in one study [ 103 ] but could increase over the years [ 104 ]. Important heterogeneities were identified: South Americans in Spain had a reduced risk of mortality from ischemic heart disease [ 105 ] but persons originating from Central America and the Caribbean showed the highest mortality rates due to cerebro-vascular pathologies [ 105 - 107 ].…”

“…Cancer risks varied by area of origin and cancer typology [ 98 ]. We also identified substantial heterogeneities in cardiovascular mortality [ 105 , 107 ], morbidity [ 108 ] and risk factors [ 104 , 222 ]. Our findings mirror the inconsistent picture found for other migrant groups and support recent calls to develop “fine-grained monitoring systems” that account for different populations and health conditions [ 212 ].…”

Hispano-Americans in Europe: what do we know about their health status and determinants? A scoping review

et al. 2015

BackgroundPolicy makers and health practitioners are in need of guidance to respond to the growing geographic mobility of Hispano-American migrants in Europe. Drawing from contributions from epidemiology, social sciences, demography, psychology, psychiatry and economy, this scoping review provides an up-to-date and comprehensive synthesis of studies addressing the health status and determinants of this population. We describe major research gaps and suggest specific avenues of further inquiry.MethodsWe identified systematically papers that addressed the concepts “health” and “Hispano Americans” indexed in five data bases from Jan 1990 to May 2014 with no language restrictions. We screened the 4,464 citations retrieved against exclusion criteria and classified 193 selected references in 12 thematic folders with the aid of the reference management software ENDNOTE X6. After reviewing the full text of all papers we extracted relevant data systematically into a table template to facilitate the synthesising process.ResultsMost studies focused on a particular disease, leaving unexplored the interlinkages between different health conditions and how these relate to legislative, health services, environmental, occupational, and other health determinants. We elucidated some consistent results but there were many heterogeneous findings and several popular beliefs were not fully supported by empirical evidence. Few studies adopted a trans-national perspective and many consisted of cross-sectional descriptions that considered “Hispano-Americans” as a homogeneous category, limiting our analysis. Our results are also constrained by the availability and varying quality of studies reviewed.ConclusionsBurgeoning research has produced some consistent findings but there are huge gaps in knowledge. To prevent unhelpful generalisations we need a more holistic and nuanced understanding of how mobility, ethnicity, income, gender, legislative status, employment status, working conditions, neighbourhood characteristics and social status intersect with demographic variables and policy contexts to influence the health of the diverse Hispano-American populations present in Europe.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12889-015-1799-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…The majority of immigrants come from Latin America (41%, mostly from Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru and Bolivia), Maghreb (14%; mostly from Morocco), sub-Saharan Africa (4%; mostly from Senegal and Nigeria), Asia (7%; mostly from China) and Eastern Europe (16%; mostly from Romania, Bulgaria, Russia and Ukraine). However, only four studies have examined inequalities in cardiovascular health according to place of birth [ 21 – 24 ]. Two of these studies focused on inequalities in mortality [ 21 , 22 ] and the other two examined specific CVD risk factors in two regions of Spain [ 23 , 24 ] without consideration of socioeconomic position.…”

Two of these studies focused on inequalities in mortality [ 21 , 22 ] and the other two examined specific CVD risk factors in two regions of Spain [ 23 , 24 ] without consideration of socioeconomic position. Given that in Spain, CVD is the main cause of mortality [ 25 ], cardiovascular risk factors are more common in individual from low social class [ 26 ], and the high proportion of immigrants in the population, who are often of low socioeconomic position [ 20 ], this study aims to examine inequalities in CVD risk factors among immigrant and native populations using data from the 2017 Spanish National Health Survey; and whether these inequalities vary with educational attainment.…”

Cardiovascular disease risk factors in Spain: A comparison of native and immigrant populations

2020

Cardiovascular disease (CDV) risk factors are highly prevalent among adults with low social class in Spain. However, little is known on how these factors are distributed in the immigrant population, a socio-economic disadvantaged population. Thus, this study aims to examine inequalities in CVD risk factors among immigrant and native populations. We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from the Spanish National Health Survey 2017 and used log-binomial regression to quantify the association of immigrant status on CVD risk factors among adults aged 25–64 years. The probabilities of having at least three CVD risk factors were higher for immigrants from Eastern Europe (PR: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.15–1.35) and lower for immigrants from Africa (PR: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.69–0.89) when compared with natives. The association of immigrant status and CVD risk factors varies with educational attainment (p-interaction = 0.001). Immigrants from Eastern Europe with low educational attainment have a higher probability of having at least three CVD risk factors compared with their native counterparts. In contrast, immigrants from Africa and Latin America with low educational attainment had a protective effect against having at least three CVD risk relative to natives. Health prevention and promotion strategies to reduce the burden of CVD taking should account for educational attainment given its differential effect among the immigrant population in Spain.

Evolución del riesgo cardiovascular de los inmigrantes residentes en España según procedencia y años de estancia

Abstract: The cardiovascular risk of immigrants increases over the years in Spain, with this increase being higher if they come from Latin America. This increase becomes clinically significant after the 8 years of stay in Spain.
