Functional health, 2009

This is a Health fact sheet about functional health amoung Canadians. The Canadian Community Health survey assessed functional health through the use of a health utility index. The Health Utility Index Mark 3 (HUI3) developed at McMaster University was used to assess functional health. It measures a person's overall functional health using eight attributes: vision, hearing, speech, mobility, dexterity, feelings, cognition and pain.
