“…For instance, in our study both single fathers and single mothers had worse financial status, which again had a major impact on health (both fathers and mothers) [19,20] and healthcare utilization (single mothers only) [14,18]. Moreover, single mothers were more often of nonSwedish origin, which in turn may be associated with poorer health [21,22] and inadequate healthcare utilisation [16,23]. Finally, level of education influenced both health and healthcare utilization.…”

An uneven distribution of sociodemographic and socioeconomic characteristics might help us to understand why single parents, both mothers and fathers, have worse health than parents who live together. Previously recognized gender differences with regard to healthcare utilization were present in our study as well, and it is possible that these differences are related to the unequal distribution of sociodemographic and socioeconomic assets between single fathers and single mothers found here.

“…It has been suggested that the health advantages of immigrants diminish at older ages and among the second generation (Sundquist and Winkleby 1999;De Maio 2010); and that these advantages vary substantially by cause of death, country of birth/origin (Stirbu et al 2006;Wild et al 2007;Boulogne et al 2012), and the health measure used (Sundquist and Johansson 1997;Pudaric et al 2003;Llacer et al 2007;Nielsen and Krasnik 2010). While there is a large body of research on health and mortality by migration background, there is a dearth of research examining the health and the mortality of migrants through a gender lens.…”

“…For example, socio-economic variables and time in Sweden were not available, although these are important factors to consider. These limitations are important to bear in mind as Sundquist and Johansson [29], among others, have shown poorer economic resources among these groups.…”

The aim of this study was to describe the formal care provided by the municipality and the staff's description of care-related needs among nonNordic older immigrants compared to older Nordic-born persons in Sweden. A further aim was to describe the occurrence of informal care provided. Cross-sectional data were collected concerning 111 non-Nordic immigrants from the longitudinal study «Good Ageing in Skåne» (GAS). Comparisons were made between them and a group consisting of Nordic born older people (n=111) with the same age and gender distribution. The findings showed that the non-Nordic immigrants to a higher extent cohabited with children or partners, had family members employed as caregivers, received help with Instrumental Activities in Daily Living (IADL) and Personal Activities in Daily Living (PADL) from their family, received more rehabilitation at home and more daytime home health care and were reported to have special care needs than the comparison group. Furthermore, the health care personnel had less knowledge about the non-Nordic immigrants, which in turn could mean that they do not receive the care they need.
