Disease
Disease is on the rise in the African immigrant population abroad.
A recent study found that in the U.S., this problem within the African immigrant population had been masked because African immigrants were often lumped together with U.S.-born African Americans.
When the groups were separated, however, it was clear that there was prevalence of developing chronic health problems such as diabetes, obesity and hypertension in African immigrant populations. Worst, because many immigrants didn’t seek or know how to seek care.
