Changing epidemiology of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases in immigrants: A systematic review of population-based studies.
CONCLUSION: Based on our systematic review, the epidemiology of IMIDs among immigrants varies according to native and host countries, immigrant generation, and IMID type. The rapid evolution suggests a role for non-genetic factors and gene-environment interactions. Future studies should focus on these pattern shifts, given implications of rising global burden of IMIDs and immigration.
