Aim: Although immigrants account for nearly half of Luxembourg's population, few studies have investigated differences in self-reported health by nationality in Luxembourg. Our study aimed to explore the association between nationality and self-reported health in Luxembourg. Subject and methods: Cro...

Our study aimed to explore the association between nationality and self-reported health in Luxembourg. Subject and methods: Cross-sectional data from the 2015–2016 Panel Socio-Economique Liewen zu Lëtzebuerg (PSELL3) were used. Nationalities included Luxembourger, Portuguese, French, Italian, Belgian and German. Multivariable logistic regression analyses examined the association between nationality and three self-reported health measures: general health status, limitation in activity due to a health problem, and living with a chronic illness or condition. Results: Of 8084 participants, 65% were Luxembourgers, 20% were Portuguese, and the remaining 15% were French, Italian, Belgian, or German. Italian nationals were more likely to report fair, poor, or very poor health [aOR = 1.54; 95% CI = 1.07, 2.22] and Portuguese nationals demonstrated both higher odds of fair, poor, or very poor health [aOR = 1.57; 95% CI = 1.28, 1.92] and limitation in activity [aOR = 1.32; 95% CI = 1.07, 1.64] compared to Luxembourgers. However, Portuguese nationals were also less likely to report living with a chronic illness [aOR = 0.79; 95% CI = 0.63, 0.98]. In education-stratified models, primary-educated Portuguese nationals were more likely to report fair, poor, or very poor health [aOR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.36, 1.92] and limitation in activity [aOR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.04, 1.79], but not less likely to report living with a chronic illness. Conclusions: Nationality and education level should be considered in future studies concerning self-reported health in Luxembourg. Further research is needed to examine disparities in self-reported health among Portuguese and Italian nationals. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
