Description
Laura Kemppainen and colleagues present a two thousand twenty-four register study of death rates among older migrants in Finland. Migrants often outlive native-born peers, a pattern called the mortality advantage. Whether it holds into old age, by cause of death, was unproven there.
All deaths over nearly two decades were analyzed for people aged seventy and over. Standardized rates compared migrants with Finnish-born residents. Breakdowns by cause and region of origin followed. Regression adjusted for age, sex, income, and residence. Evidence of a migrant advantage appeared across various causes, adding old-age data to a debated field.
