Adult mortality among second-generation immigrants in France: Results from a nationally representative record linkage study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

France has a large population of second-generation immigrants (i.e., native-born children of immigrants) who are known to experience important socioeconomic disparities by country of origin.

We also adjusted hazard ratios using educational attain
