Interaction Between Immigration, Physical Activity, Mental Health, and All-Cause Mortality Among US Adults
In this population-based cohort study, the results showed a joint association of immigration status, physical activity, and SPD with all-cause mortality. Immigrants and especially nonimmigrants might benefit from tailored behavioral health interventions aimed at increasing physical activity and reducing SPD to mitigate disparities in mortality risk.
