Biopsychosocial factors associated with physical activity among Resettlers of the former Soviet Union in Germany: a cross-sectional analysis
Migration experience and culture account for gender-related sex differences in physical activity alongwith other interlocking social factors such as psychological stressors and health status among Resettlers. Individual psychological stressors may hinder or motivate physical activity, but physical activity can reverse the influence of such stressors on Resettlers. Understanding migrant health and experiences is crucial due to the migration influx and health disparities. However, data on this topic are scarce in Germany.
