Moving away from a hometown can be a bittersweet experience, as people leave behind familiar comforts for a fresh start.
It also might be a sign of better future health, a new study says.
Americans who migrate within the United States have significantly better health than those who remain in their birth state, researchers reported Wednesday in the Journal of Ethnic and Minority Studies.
People who stayed put were more likely to become disabled as seniors, with a higher risk of vision and hearing problems, cognitive impairment, limitations in daily activities and physical weaknesses like difficulty walking or climbing stairs, researchers found.
