History shows an ongoing voluntary or involuntary migration flow of people from their
birthplaces to other societies. Many Western countries have become multi-ethnic societies.
The number of elderly immigrants in those countries is rapidly rising. Contrary to the situation
in the United States, little information is yet available on the health status and health care use
of elderly immigrants in Europe, including the Netherlands. In Europe, elderly are often
included as part of the study population whereas in the United States separate studies on
elderly have been conducted indicating more health problems but a relatively low health care
use.http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/22648/110309_Denktas%2C%20Semiha.pdfTuesday, February 14, 2012
