We tested whether positive selection on childhood predictors of adult mental and physical health contributed to health advantages of Mexican-born immigrants to the United States relative to U.S.-born Mexican Americans. Methods. We combined data from surveys conducted during 2000-2003 in Mexico and the U.S. with the same structured interview. We examined retrospective reports of childhood (i.e., < 16 years of age) predictors of adult health education, height, childhood physical illness, childhood mental health, early substance use, and childhood adversities as predictors of migration from Mexico to the U.S. at >= 16 years of age. We estimated overall selection by comparing migrants to all non-migrants. We also examined selection at the family (members of families of migrants vs. members of families without a migrant) and individual (migrants vs. non-migrants within families of migrants) levels. Results. Distinguishing between family and individual selection revealed evidence of positive health selection that is obscured in the overall selection model. In particular, respondents in families with migrants were more likely to have >= 12 years of education (odds ratio [OR] = 1.60) and be in the tallest height quartile (OR=1.72) than respondents in families without migrants. At both the family and individual levels, migrants are disadvantaged on mental health profiles, including a higher prevalence of conduct problems, phobic fears, and early substance use. Conclusions. Positive health selection may contribute to physical health advantages among Mexican immigrants in the U.S. relative to their U.S.-born descendants. Mental health advantages likely reflect a lower prevalence of psychiatric disorders in Mexico, rather than protective factors that distinguish migrants.Item Mexican immigration to the U.S., the occurrence of violence and the impact of mental disorders(Assoc Brasileira Psoqioatria, Subscription Department, Rua Pedro de Toledo, 967 - Casa 01, Sao Paulo, SP 04039-032 A, Brazil, 2013) Borges, Guilherme; Rafful, Claudia; Tancredi, Daniel J.; Saito, Naomi; Aguilar-Gaxiola, Sergio; Medina-Mora, Maria-Elena; Breslau, Joshua; Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría, Dirección de Investigaciones Epidemiológicas y Psicosociales, Dept Modelos Intervenc, Calzada Mexico Xochimilco 101, Mexico City 14370, DF, Mexico.; guibor@imp.edu.mxItem Mexican immigration to the US and alcohol and drug use opportunities: does it make a difference in alcohol and/or drug use?(Limerick : Elsevier, 2012) Borges, Guilherme; Rafful, Claudia; Benjet, Corina; Tancredi, Daniel J.; Saito, Naomi; Aguilar-Gaxiola, Sergio; Medina-Mora, Maria Elena; Breslau, Joshua; National Institute of Psychiatry, Calzada México Xochimilco No 101- Col.
