AB  - Resettlers from the former Soviet Union are one of the largest migrant groups in Germany. Previous studies found lower cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among resettlers compared to Germans without migration background (autochthonous). Other studies have shown a higher prevalence of CVD risk factors among resettlers, suggesting a higher CVD mortality. The German National Cohort (NAKO) provides an opportunity to explore these discrepancies.This study used baseline data from NAKO and compared age-adjusted percentages of self-reported CVD and associated risk factors between the two groups. Logistic regression models estimated adjusted odds ratios (OR) for associations between resettler status and outcomes.Among 204,751 participants aged 19-75, 3,580 were resettlers and 169,538 autochthonous Germans. Male resettlers had lower odds of risky alcohol consumption (OR: 0.55; 95
