Assessing the migrant mortality advantage among foreign-born and interprovincial migrants in Manitoba, Canada.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Studies on mortality differentials between international immigrants and non-immigrants produced mixed results. The mortality of interprovincial migrants has been less studied. Our objectives were to compare mortality risk between international immigrants, interprovincial migrants, and long-term residents of the province of Manitoba, Canada, and identify factors associated with mortality among migrants.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective matched-cohort study to examine all-cause and premature mortality of 355,194 international immigrants, interprovincial migrants, and long-term Manitoba residents (118,398 in each group) between January 1985 and March 2019 using linked administrative databases. Poisson regression was used to estimate adjusted incidence rate ratios
