Association between the regional variation in premature mortality and immigration in Ontario, Canada.

CONCLUSION: The findings demonstrate that health region differences in premature mortality in Ontario are in part explained by individual-level effects associated with the health advantage of immigrants, as well as contextual area-level effects that are associated with regional differences in the immigrant population. These factors should be considered in addition to health system factors when looking at health region variation in premature deaths. PMID: 32462460 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
