  • 1. Assessing obesity beyond body mass index: Integrating physiological and functional indicators of impairment in national health surveillance
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202600300001
    Description: Body mass index (BMI) is commonly used to estimate obesity prevalence; however, reliance on BMI alone can lead to an incomplete understanding of obesity’s impact on health. In line with the 2025 recommendations of the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Commission, this study used measured and self-reported data from the 2016 to 2019 Canadian Health Measures Survey to combine population-level measures of excess adiposity with indicators of physiological dysfunction and activity limitation across eight body system domains. Clinical and preclinical obesity were characterized by excess adiposity and progressive obesity-related impairment among Canadian adults.

  • 2. Metabolic health and body mass index phenotypes in adults
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500900002
    Description: To better understand the interplay between adiposity and metabolic health, joint phenotypes have been used to categorize people as being metabolically healthy or metabolically unhealthy while having a body mass index indicative of obesity, overweight, or normal weight. This study examines the prevalence of these phenotypes in adults, the factors associated with them, and their relationship with adverse health outcomes.

  • 3. Linkage of the nationally representative Canadian Community Health Survey - Nutrition 2004 to routinely collected mortality records
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202200900002
    Description:

    National health surveys and vital statistics registries are the cornerstones of surveillance, monitoring and policy development in most developed countries. This cohort profile describes the linkage of the Canadian Community Health Survey - Nutrition (2004) to the Canadian Vital Statistics - Death Database (2011). Further, the authors demonstrate how these data can be used in terms of potential analysis strategies, and discuss their strengths and limitations-considerations that could apply to any national nutrition survey worldwide.

  • 4. The effect of COVID-19 on physical activity among Canadians and the future risk of cardiovascular disease Archived
    Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202100100019
    Description: The shift by Canadians to a more physically distanced life resulted in a dramatic reduction in the transmission of COVID-19. However, there are concerns that health behaviours, including physical activity, have consequently changed in ways that will result in an unintended increase in the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes and cancer. This study looks at how many Canadians could develop cardiovascular disease over the next three years because of reduced levels of physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • 5. Smoking patterns based on birth-cohort-specific histories from 1965 to 2013, with projections to 2041 Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202001100002
    Description: Using data from the 2003 to 2013 cycles of the Canadian Community Health Survey, this study’s objective was to characterize smoking history by sex using birth cohorts beginning in 1920. Smoking histories for each birth cohort included age at smoking initiation and cessation, which was used to construct smoking prevalence for each calendar year from 1971 to 2041. A secondary objective was to characterize smoking history by socioeconomic status.

  • 6. International population-based health surveys linked to outcome data: A new resource for public health and epidemiology Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202000700002
    Description:

    This paper's objectives are to examine the feasibility of pooling linked population health surveys from three countries, facilitate the examination of health behaviours, and present useful information to assist in the planning of international population health surveillance and research studies.

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides four options:

  • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
  • By most popular – gives priority to results that are most frequently selected by users, followed by the most recent.
  • By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
  • By title – sorts results alphabetically.

Search Help

How do I use the filters and the search box?

  • You can initiate a search by entering keywords or selecting filters (e.g., under Subject, Geography, etc.) on the left side of the page.

  • Filters can be used together or in any combination. Each time you select a filter, the results on the page are updated.

  • To start a new search, click on the Clear all button above the search box or deselect each filter.

  • Specified keywords and filters appear above the search box. You can deselect any or all the tags to refine or clear your search.

How do I refine my search?

  • You can enter keywords in the search box. It is not necessary to use “+” or “, “ or “AND”.

  • You can delete some or all of the keywords from your search string.

  • Quotes around keywords limit the search to a specific phrase.

    • For example, “labour force survey” will limit results to products containing this phrase.

  • Use “or” between keywords to obtain results that contain one or more search terms.

    • For example, labour or­ force or survey will limit results to products containing any or all of these words.

How does the search work?

  • This search looks for results that have your query term in the title, description, subject, geography, product number or other information about the product.

    • For example, when searching the term ‘Diseases’, all results with the word ‘Diseases’ in the title, description or tagged the subject appear.

  • The text within an article or publication are not searched. For full text searching of articles, use the site search.
