To manage immigrants` health needs is an important challenge for the society. This report gives knowledge about the status of immigrant health in Norway, which can be used in planning of health services. Methods Statistics Norway carried out a Living Condition Survey among immigrants in 2016. We report the prevalence of health outcomes (self-reported health, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, back- and neck problems, impaired functioning, mental health problems, problems with sleeping, overweight) and lifestyle (alcohol, smoking, physical activity) by country of origin and assess associations between health and sociodemographic (age, education, income) and migration related (age at immigration, duration of residence, Norwegian proficiency) variables, as well as discrimination and employment. Immigrants from twelve countries were interviewed. The questionnaire was translated into the main languages in the twelve countries and English. In this report, 4399 participants aged 16-66 years were included. Results There were large variations in health according to country of origin and gender. Immigrants experienced a deterioration in health at younger age than non-immigrants did. The educational gradient in health was less pronounced among immigrants than among others. Perceived discrimination was related to mental health problems. Some immigrant groups had a high proportion of smokers. In most groups a considerable proportion was drinking alcohol and a low proportion were physically active. Conclusions Future research should take into account differences in health according to country of origin and gender. The importance of physical and social circumstances for immigrant health emphasizes the need for structural population-based initiatives to promote health. Key messages Immigrant health varies by country of origin and gender. Physical and social environment is important for immigrant health.
