Short description

There is limited knowledge about the health and well-being of older immigrants in Sweden. The government and researchers emphasize the importance of more knowledge about the existence of health and well-being factors and their interaction. The research project Aging as an Immigrant in Sweden (SAIE) is designed to meet this need.

The research field on health and well-being of older people in a migration context is rapidly developing internationally and SAIE complements Sweden's contribution.
