WHY??? “The data suggests that, the longer you live in Canada, the more likely it is that you’ll adopt an unhealthy lifestyle.”, And “New immigrants want to adopt Canadian ways when they arrive, particularly youth. Within this specific age group, the pressure to fit in to Canadian cultural norms is multiplied even further,” Katerina Maximova, Assistant Professor; Department of Public Health Sciences BMI differences: The immigrant equation By Andrea Lauder, May 4, News/2011/05/BMIdifferencesTheimmigrantequation.aspx
