Concepts of Health and Illness

14.5K
Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

The healthcare system is constantly changing and complex. Various services are available from different healthcare providers, but gaining access to these services has become challenging for people with limited healthcare insurance. Uninsured people present a challenge to healthcare because they frequently postpone or forego treatment.

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Summary

Immigrants are initially healthier but their health declines over time. Naturalization speeds up this "healthy immigrant effect" convergence, potentially due to increased employment opportunities.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Sociology
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • The healthy immigrant effect describes immigrants' initial superior health compared to natives, which diminishes over time.
  • Mechanisms driving this health convergence (environmental, institutional, selective migration) remain underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of immigrant naturalization on the speed of health convergence.
  • To identify potential mediating factors, such as employment, in the naturalization-health relationship.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized restricted-access Spanish National and European Health Surveys.
  • Employed quasi-experimental variation in naturalization timelines (2 vs. 10 years residency) based on country of origin.

Main Results:

Keywords:

  • Naturalization was found to negatively impact immigrant health, accelerating convergence towards native health levels.
  • Increases in employment following naturalization emerged as a potential explanatory mechanism.

Conclusions:

  • Immigrant naturalization is associated with a decline in health, hastening the convergence process.
  • Employment changes appear to play a significant role in mediating the health effects of naturalization.
