SOCIO-GEOGRAPHIC MOBILITY AND HEALTH STATUS: A LONGITUDINAL ANALYSIS USING THE NATIONAL POPULATION HEALTH SURVEY OF CANADA

摘要

This paper considers the relationships between health status and socio-geographic mobility over time for individuals sampled in the longitudinal National Population Health Survey of Canada. The study aims to elucidate the associations between individuals’ health outcomes (assessed on various measures), and area deprivation in their place of residence. We also aimed to investigate the significance of selective residential migration as a possible contributor to area differences in health.
