Abstract: There are numerous ways in which migration and health influence each other, but only modest attention was devoted to these relationships in published research until the 1980s. It is reasonable to expect linkages between migration and health for several reasons. Migrants tend to be a selected subgroup of people from their area of origin and they often carry with them unique lifestyles and health attributes. The process of migrating from one place to another often has important health consequences for both the migrants and the people to whom they are exposed in the place of destination.
