Abstract
The rising phenomenon of immigration to Italy makes necessary to be equipped with basic tools allowing to work out a health pattern of the immigrated foreigners useful to develop programs for their health protection. We describe the image of the health pattern of foreigners immigrated to Turin obtained using the current socio-sanitary informative systems and the record of some outpatient's department. The resulting health condition is similar to that of the general population, with a few epidemiological peculiarities of the origin countries (a larger diffusion of tubercolosys and intestinal parasitosis) and with acute problems typical of populations with high mobility (traumatology, respiratory diseases). Besides, these sources suggest to examine carefully health problems pregnancy and work related. Completeness and quality limits of the informative systems used are then discussed.
