| Annotation | There is a growing interest in learning how older migrants adapt to their new country of residence, in understanding their motivations for migration, and the factors that influence international retirement migration patterns. However, there has been little research into the health and health care needs of international migrants retiring to other countries. This paper presents findings on health status and utilisation of health services, with a particular focus on UK pensioners retiring to Spain. Future research should focus on the health needs of pensioners and their perspectives as to whether and how these health needs are met. (KJ/RH). |
