Description

Product Description The current politicized climate around immigration includes heated debate over the potential costs of continued immigration for the health and well-being of the nation. Amid the controversy one pattern that has escaped significant notice is that immigrants today are healthier than the native-born. Even more striking is that these positive health profiles are found among those immigrants who tend to have less education and lower income, factors that population health researchers have typically associated with poor health. A final feature of contemporary immigrant health is evidence of a gradual loss of the immigrant health advantage with time in the U.S. and across generations. These paradoxical patterns lie at the center of Volume 19 of Advances in Medical Sociology. Too often, immigrant health is set apart and treated as a specialty research area rather than as a topic that is central to understanding such core sociological concepts as stratification and inequality. The contributors in this volume all leverage a population health perspective to help unravel the patterns and paradoxes of immigrant health, and in doing so, help to clarify more broadly how health dis-parities emerge and persist in the contemporary U.S. Review Believing that health and illness provide a window into how a social structure operates, sociologists offer evidence-based perspectives on the health of immigrants and their descendants. In sections on cross-national perspectives, problemitizing acculturation, and a structural approach, they address such topics as reconsidering the relationship between age at migration and health behaviors among US immigrants: the modifying role of continued cross-border ties, intergenerational health transmission among Mexican Americans: further evidence of the protective effect of Spanish-language utilization, the influence of acculturation and weight-related behaviors on body mass index among Asian American ethnic subgroups, the immigrant health differential in the context of racial and ethnic disparities: the case of diabetes, and immigrant exclusion and inclusion: the importance of citizenship for insurance coverage before and after the Affordable Care Act. -- Annotation ©2019 ― (protoview.com) About the Author Reanne Frank is Associate Professor of Sociology at the Ohio State University, USA and faculty affiliate of the Institute for Population Research (IPR).
