Peled A, et al. - Using cross-sectional data, researchers examined the link between age at immigration and hypertension occurrence at adolescence among immigrants to Israel. A total of 2,681,294 adolescents assessed at approximately 17 years of age between 1967 and 2016 were studied. The participants included 410,488 immigrants with origins in Ethiopia, Middle East and North Africa, Former USSR and Western Countries. Three categories of age at immigration were: 0–5, 6–11 and 12–19 years. Israel-born participants were included as controls. Based on the age at immigration, odds ratios (ORs) for hypertension were estimated. Compared to the Israeli-born reference group, the protection against hypertension was lost at adolescence among immigrants arriving earlier in childhood; this was possibly attributable to lifestyle acculturation. Findings call for prevention programs, beginning upon arrival and placing emphasis on nutritional and physical activity habits.
