拉丁裔移民，特别是墨西哥人，比美国人有一些健康优势。墨西哥人和白人由于他们的社会经济地位较低，这种现象被称为流行病学上的“西班牙裔Paradise”。虽然文化理论主导了对Parkway的解释，但选择性移民的作用没有得到充分的解决。这项研究是为数不多的联合收割机墨西哥和美国的数据，以检查健康选择性的活动限制，自我评价的健康，和慢性疾病的墨西哥移民，年龄18岁及以上。根据选择性移民的理论，本研究通过比较墨西哥移民在美国的健康状况与墨西哥的非移民以及墨西哥的返回移民来测试“健康移民”和“鲑鱼偏见”假设。结果表明，有健康的移民和鲑鱼偏见的影响，在活动限制，但没有其他健康方面。事实上，与先前的研究一致，移民在自我评估的健康方面是负面的。未来的研究应考虑移民健康状况的复杂性，并审查选择机制以及文化适应等其他因素。
Latino immigrants, particularly Mexican, have some health advantages over U.S.-born Mexicans and Whites. Because of their lower socioeconomic status, this phenomenon has been called the epidemiologic “Hispanic Paradox.” While cultural theories have dominated explanations for the Paradox, the role of selective migration has been inadequately addressed. This study is among the few to combine Mexican and U.S. data to examine health selectivity in activity limitation, self-rated health, and chronic conditions among Mexican immigrants, ages 18 and over. Drawing on theories of selective migration, this study tested the “healthy migrant” and “salmon-bias” hypotheses by comparing the health of Mexican immigrants in the U.S. to non-migrants in Mexico, and to return migrants in Mexico. Results suggest that there are both healthy migrant and salmon-bias effects in activity limitation, but not other health aspects. In fact, consistent with prior research, immigrants are negatively selected on self-rated health. Future research should consider the complexities of migrants’ health profiles and examine selection mechanisms alongside other factors such as acculturation.
