How Healthy Are Canadians? Annual Report 2002, 2002, Vol. 13
This is the third in the series of annual reports published by Statistics Canada on the health of Canadians. This supplement highlights communities, with new information that is mainly from the 2000/01 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). Communities are viewed from several perspectives: geographically, with analyses of the health regions that have been created by provincial health departments; culturally, with articles examining two specific communities-Aboriginal Canadians living off-reserve and immigrants; and socio-economically, with studies of urban neighbourhoods defined by their level of income.
Canada's 139 health regions are grouped into 10 "peer groups" with similar socio-demographic profiles. Health outcomes and risk factors are compared among and within peer groups.
Life expectancy and disability-free life expectancy estimates are based on data from the 1996 Census of Canada and the Canadian Vital Statistics Database. Risk factor estimates are based on data from the 2000/01 CCHS.
