In the period 1989-94, mortality rates for the most important causes of death in people migrated to the Tuscany from other Italian regions were analysed. The area of birth was assessed according to the information on province of birth recorded on death certificates. For this analysis we classified Italy into Tuscany and five broad areas, each including a number of political regions: North-West, North-East, Centre, South and Islands. ⋯ AIDS and opioids overdose mortality was higher in North-West born subjects. Mortality for external causes was higher in people born outside of the Tuscany. Both in males and females, overall mortality was higher in North-West and lower in South born people and lower in Centre and Islands born males.
