Abstract

In summary, this study provides useful estimation of the risk of cardiovascular disease associated with migration to a more advantaged environment in childhood. Whether this represents a longer duration of adult life exposure to the new environment or some critical period in childhood remains to be established. © International Epidemiological Association 2004; all rights reserved.
