Abstract Compared with natives, immigrants have lower all-cause mortality rates, despite their socioeconomic status, an epidemiological paradox generally explained by the healthy migrant effect. Another hypothesis is so-called salmon bias effect: “statistically immortal” subjects return to country of origin when they expect die shortly, but deaths are not registered in statistics residence. This underestimation determines artificially low immigrant rate. We aimed estimate potential effect on...
