“…In the context of a universal healthcare provider, the National Health Service, persistent deprivation plays an important role in premature mortality in England,44 45 but it does not fully explain the persistently higher levels of all-cause mortality in the North,46 which has recently increased at an alarming rate for those aged 25–44 47. Although health selective migration is likely to be a factor,48 and it is likely to influence inequalities by age,49 we found that levels of health-related deprivation were consistently higher in the North, in premature mortality and illness and disability, acute morbidity (hospital admissions), and mood and anxiety disorders.…”

“…Cross-sectional data makes it difficult to prove causality, but the selection bias towards healthy migrants provides support for the interpretation that the social factors examined affected health rather than the other way around; that is to say, it is unlikely that marriage migrants’ health affects the relative social standing of marital families in Korea, but is more logical that higher social standing of Korean marital families affects marriage migrants’ health. As mentioned in Norman and others’ work (Riva, Curtis, and Norman 2011, Norman, Boyle, and Rees 2005, Norman and Boyle 2014), we could not exclude health selection effects among marriage migrants and the survey does not cover their pre-migration health status. However, considering that this article compares marriage migrants of different ethnicity and countries of origin, but not marriage migrants with non-marriage migrants, such effects may only have a slight impact on our research findings.…”

Background Research on migrant health mostly examines labor migrants, with some attention paid to the trauma faced by refugees. Marriage migrants represent an understudied vulnerable population in the migration and health literature. Objectives Drawing on a Social Determinants of Health (SDH) approach, we use a large Korean national survey and stratified multivariate regressions to examine the link between migration processes and the self-rated health of Korea’s three largest ethnic groups of marriage migrants: Korean-Chinese, Vietnamese, and Han Chinese. Results We find that post-migration socioeconomic status and several social integration factors are associated with the health of marriage migrants of all three groups. Specifically, having more social relationships with Koreans is associated with good health among marriage migrants, while having more social relationships with co-ethnics is associated with worse health. Marriage migrants’ perceived social status of their natal and marital families is a better predictor of their health than more objective measures such as their education attainment and that of their Korean husbands. The post-migration social gradients among all ethnic groups demonstrate a dose-response effect of marital family’s social standing on marriage migrants’ health, independent of their own education and the social standing of their natal families. Lastly, we find some ethnicity-specific predictors such as the association between higher educational level and worse health status among the Vietnamese. This variability by group suggests a more complex set of social determinants of health occurred during the marriage migration processes than a basic SDH framework would predict. Conclusion Using a new immigrant destination, South Korea, as an example, we conclude that, migration and health policies that reduce ethnicity-specific barriers and offer integration programs in early post-migration stages may offer a pathway to good health among marriage migrants.

“…Such analysis could also include measures of health differences like morbidity or social deprivation (eg, 40). The detailed analysis of mortality and health differences between cohabiting and married individuals is another important avenue to proceed.…”

Cause-specific mortality by partnership status: simultaneous analysis using longitudinal data from England and Wales

With declining marriage rates and the spread of cohabitation and separation, a distinction between partnered and non-partnered individuals is critical to understanding whether and how having a partner shapes the individuals' health behaviour and mortality. The cause-specific analysis supports both the importance of selection into partnership and the protective effect of living with someone together.
