“…1), of which 55 were selected for full-text review. Of these, 17 studies met the criteria for inclusion in this review (Table 1 and Supplemental Table S2) including 4 from The Netherlands, 20-23 5 from Sweden, 24-28 2 from Denmark, 29,30 1 from Northern Ireland, 31 England/Wales, 32,33 2 from Canada, 34,35 and 1 from the United States. 36 All studies were observational, and examined both sexes, and most used data from population-based registries, including census data.…”

“…20,21,24,26,27,29,31,34 Among first-generation immigrants, although there was some heterogeneity across these studies, immigrants from Eastern and some other Western European countries, the Middle East, and South Asia were found to be at an overall greater risk than the host population, and those from Africa and North America were at lower risk. Notably, male immigrants to Sweden from other Nordic countries (eg, Finland), Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia had particularly greater incidence of IHD than the host male population.…”

“…Regarding stroke, 5 studies met our inclusion criteria, and most studied immigrants from different regions of the world (Table 4). 22,28,31,35,36 Similar to AMI, recent immigrants in Ontario, Canada were at approximately a 30% lower risk of stroke than were long-term residents. 35 In the United States, Hispanic immigrants were at lower risk than the nonHispanic white population, 36 yet immigrants born in Latin America were at a risk greater or similar to the host populations in The Netherlands and Sweden.…”

“…12 This may be due in part to the 'healthy migrant effect', whereby people who migrate tend to be in good health, and lower rates of smoking and alcohol consumption in ethnic minority groups, which may mitigate some of the impacts of socio-economic disadvantage (Scott and Timaeus, 2013;Raleigh, 2021b). Similar findings have also been identified for Northern Ireland (Connolly et al, 2011) and Scotland (Gruer et al, 2016). While previous research on Irish migrants and minority ethnic groups has tended to find evidence for a 'healthy immigrant effect' for other outcomes (such as self-assessed health) (Nolan, 2012;McGinnity et al, 2020b), one ethnic group, Irish Travellers, has been Data for Ireland and the EU27 obtained from Eurostat (table DEMO_MINFIND).…”

The mission of the Economic and Social Research Institute is to advance evidencebased policymaking that supports economic sustainability and social progress in Ireland. ESRI researchers apply the highest standards of academic excellence to challenges facing policymakers, focusing on 12 areas of critical importance to 21 st Century Ireland.The Institute was founded in 1960 by a group of senior civil servants led by Dr T.K. Whitaker, who identified the need for independent and in-depth research analysis to provide a robust evidence base for policymaking in Ireland.Since then, the Institute has remained committed to independent research and its work is free of any expressed ideology or political position. The Institute publishes all research reaching the appropriate academic standard, irrespective of its findings or who funds the research.The quality of its research output is guaranteed by a rigorous peer review process. ESRI researchers are experts in their fields and are committed to producing work that meets the highest academic standards and practices.The work of the Institute is disseminated widely in books, journal articles and reports. ESRI publications are available to download, free of charge, from its website. Additionally, ESRI staff communicate research findings at regular conferences and seminars.The ESRI is a company limited by guarantee, answerable to its members and governed by a Council, comprising 14 members who represent a cross-section of ESRI members from academia, civil services, state agencies, businesses and civil society. The Institute receives an annual grant-in-aid from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to support the scientific and public interest elements of the Institute's activities; the grant accounted for an average of 30 per cent of the Institute's income over the lifetime of the last Research Strategy. The remaining funding comes from research programmes supported by government departments and agencies, public bodies and competitive research programmes.

“…The migration hypothesis posits that the country’s higher mortality could be explained by the emigration of a higher proportion of healthy individuals from Scotland than from other Western European regions. But the limited literature on the subject shows that Scottish migrants display mortality profiles in their country of destination that are similar to those of non-migrants remaining in Scotland, particularly in death rates from lung cancer and ischemic heart disease (Connolly et al 2011; Popham et al 2010). …”

The contribution of a history of heavy smoking to Scotland's mortality disadvantage

Scotland has a lower life expectancy than any country in Western Europe or North America, and this disadvantage is concentrated above age 50. According to the Human Mortality Database, life expectancy at age 50 has been lower in Scotland than in any other developed country since 1980. Relative to 15 developed countries that we have chosen for comparison, Scotland’s life expectancy in 2009 at age 50 was lower by an average of 2.5 years for women and 1.6 years for men. We estimate that Scottish women lost 3.6 years of life expectancy at age 50 as a result of smoking, compared to 1.4 years for the comparison countries. The equivalent figures among men are 3.1 and 2.1 years. These differences are large enough for the history of heavy smoking in Scotland to account both for most of the shortfall in life expectancy for both sexes and for the country’s unusually narrow sex differences in life expectancy.
