Migrants

Migrant workers face greater risks compared to their Italian colleagues when it comes to developing and/or effectively managing hypertension. Migration requires significant cultural adjustments and substantial changes to traditional dietary habits and lifestyles, which are often not favorable.

Migrant workers are faced with a strong need for change and adaptation to new contexts, including lifestyle, nutritional habits, leisure activities, etc.

In recent years clinical investigations carried out for migrant workers gave evidence that the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and hypertension within the communities of these workers is far from negligible .  Easy  documents  on how to steer lifestyle and nutritional habits towards prevention can therefore be helpful.

Mobility is a requirement to participate in social life. With the help of mobility people can meet their individual needs and participate actively in their environment. But still mobility holds risks and dangers. Every day, people are involved in traffic accidents. We have to record fatalities and serious injuries every day.
