This paper describes some aspects of the link between migrants and health in the context of host countries about the risk and the development of chronic non-communicable diseases. These diseases hold primacy of morbidity, mortality and disability in all countries of the world. After explanations about the health outcomes of the immigrants, the "convergence effect" from low initial levels to high levels of illness during their stay in host country, and the differences / inequalities in comparison to the native residents, there are the epidemiological data of comparison between the two populations.
