Journal Of Cardiology : Risk Profiles

Doctoral Fellow Dept: The study by the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences ICES was released Tuesday and is published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology, according to CBC. We found a negative acculturation effect, in that long-term residents of Ontario had worse cardiovascular risk profiles than recent immigrants, said Maria Chiu, the study s principal investigator and an ICES doctoral fellow and immigrants who have lived in Canada for more than 15 years are at greater risk of developing cardiovascular disease than those who have lived in the country for a shorter period of time, according to researchers. Using data from Statistics Canada s national population and Canadian community healthy surveys from 1996-2007, it focused on immigrants living in Ontario, where the majority of the about 250,000 people who migrate to the country annually usually settle. As reported in the news.
