尽管获得较低水平的成就和收入，墨西哥移民表现出良好的健康结果相对于本土出生的同行。虽然学者们试图用各种理论和经验方法来调和这种所谓的矛盾关系，但选择性移民的模式继续受到相当大的关注。本研究有助于健康选择的文献，通过扩展健康的移民假设在许多方面。首先，我们依赖于数据集的独特组合来评估健康人是否更有可能迁移。我们使用最新一波的墨西哥家庭生活调查和2013年移民研究，这是一项代表墨西哥出生的人谁是积极通过蒂华纳移民的调查。汇集这些数据还使我们能够区分国内和美国移民，以了解他们各自的健康状况。研究结果为健康移民假说提供了适度的支持。虽然那些报告总体健康状况较好的人更有可能移徙，但我们发现，某些慢性病的存在增加了移徙风险。我们的研究结果还表明，国内移民比前往美国的移民更健康，尽管这在很大程度上是因为墨西哥境内的移民反映了更年轻、受教育程度更高的人口。这项研究在揭示移民流动的差异方面迈出了重要的一步，并强调了在移民过程中衡量健康状况的时机的重要性。
Despite acquiring lower levels of attainment and earnings, Mexican immigrants exhibit favorable health outcomes relative to their native-born counterparts. And while scholars attempt to reconcile this so-called paradoxical relationship with a variety of theoretical and empirical approaches, patterns of selective migration continue to receive considerable attention. The present study contributes to the literature on health selection by extending the healthy migrant hypothesis in a number of ways. First, we rely on a unique combination of data sets to assess whether the healthy are disproportionately more likely to migrate. We use the latest wave of the Mexican Family Life Survey and the 2013 Migrante Study, a survey that is representative of Mexican-born persons who are actively migrating through Tijuana. Pooling these data also allow us to differentiate between internal and US-bound migrants to shed light on their respective health profiles. Results provide modest support for the healthy migrant hypothesis. Although those who report better overall health are more likely to migrate, we find that the presence of certain chronic conditions increases migration risk. Our findings also suggest that internal migrants are healthier than those traveling to the US, though this is largely because those moving within Mexico reflect a younger and more educated population. This study takes an important step in uncovering variation across migrant flows and highlights the importance of the timing at which health is measured in the migration process.
