Differences in survival and cause-specific mortality in a culturally diverse Greek population, 1999-2008

For example, improvement of immunization status and increase in overall hygiene awareness can ameliorate high infant/childhood mortality in Roma population, while social integration can help reduce acculturation-related mortality among repatriated Greeks.
