Abstract
In the last 15 years foreign residents rapidly increased in Italy (1.3 in 2001 to 4.9 million in 2014). Previous studies assessed only in part the immigrants’ health; they were mainly cross- sectional. A multicenter cohort study on socio-demographic determinants of health has been set up by the Italian network of metropolitan longitudinal studies (MLSs). Here the study design and the preliminary results on immigrants’ mortality risk are presented to highlight study potentiality.File in questo prodotto:
