Abstract

El efecto de la cultural sanitaria sobre la producción de salud, y más concretamente el capital sanitaria, es una cuestión poco estudiada pero de elevada importancia. La salud depende de decisiones individuales que pueden estar altamente motivadas por valores sociales que son específicos del grupo cultural al que pertenece cada individuo. Este trabajo es el primero en analizar empíricamente la persistencia cultural del capital sanitario. Específicamente, en este artículo examinamos la persistencia entre la salud auto reportada del individuo que clasificamos como inmigrante de primera y segunda generación (en treinta países europeos de la muestra), con las salud auto reportada media de sus países de origen (más de 91 países del mundo).
