Alcohol Use Disorders and Immigration up to the Third Generation in France: Findings from a 39,617-Subject Survey in the General Population

Abstract

Relative to French natives, a generational risk gradient for AUDs was found in the immigrant subjects, with a similar risk of FGIs, and an increased risk of SGIs and TGIs. In terms of the risk of AUDs, no "immigrant paradox" existed in French population. These results are in line with other recent findings, suggesting that the "immigrant paradox" is rarely found in Europe regarding many health-related issues.
