The report, published by University College London and the Lancet medical journal, concluded that what the public says about immigrants posing health risks and a burden on health systems are myths, used to stoke the anti-immigrant feeling.
The two-year study found that the average age of migrants was generally longer than that of host countries and that it was less likely to die from diseases such as cancer and the heart.
The study found that they were more susceptible to diseases such as hepatitis, tuberculosis and HIV, and that they usually transmitted these diseases to immigrant communities. and not to the general population.
Ibrahim Abu Bakr, chair of the Lancet College Committee on Migration and Health, who conducted the study, said: "Our badysis indicates that migrants are in good health and contribute positively to the situation. economy of the host countries and rich countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States. migrants A large proportion of the workforce in the field of health ".
The report examined 96 studies and 5,464 deaths among more than 15 million immigrants and found an inconsistency among migrant groups, for example, the number of deaths among immigrants from Asia. East and Latin America was lower than that of the general population in six European countries studied, from North Africa and from Eastern Europe.
"There is no need to go back," Richard Horton, editor of Lancashire, said in a statement. "In many countries, migrants are used to dividing communities and proposing a popular agenda."
He added: "The contribution of migrants in general to the economy is greater than the economic burden they represent."
The findings were based primarily on studies of migrant health in rich countries because of the lack of data in middle and low-income countries, but the report warned that this study might not reflect the state of health migrants in the poorest countries.
