  • 1. Sustainable Development Goals: Goal 7, Affordable and Clean Energy Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-637-X202000100007
    Geography: Canada
    Description: As the seventh goal outlined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Canada and other UN member states have committed to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030. This 2020 infographic provides an overview of indicators underlying the seventh Sustainable Development Goal in support of affordable and clean energy, and the statistics and data sources used to monitor and report on this goal in Canada.

  • 2. Net Worth of the Household Sector, 1970 to 2012: A Canada–United States Comparison Archived
    Articles and reports: 11F0027M2014094
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This report compares household net worth per capita in Canada and the United States from 1970 to 2012, using data from the Canadian National Balance Sheet Accounts and the Flow of Funds Accounts published by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

    Three approaches are adopted. The first makes a level comparison using values adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP). The second uses ratios of real net worth per capita and net worth relative to disposable income. The third decomposes the growth of the ratio of net worth to disposable income. Together, these approaches provide mutually re-enforcing results that are more robust than what could be derived from any one approach in isolation.

  • 3. National Saving in Canada and the United States, 1926 to 2011 Archived
    Articles and reports: 11F0027M2014093
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This paper examines the composition of Canadian and United States gross national saving for a period spanning more than 80 years, using time series from the Bureau of Economic Analysis in the United States and a newly created dataset for Canada. The paper tracks short-term, year-to-year fluctuations, cyclical fluctuations and long-term compositional changes. It illustrates a substantial degree of national saving reallocation across sectors, annually and across business cycles. The national saving rate is more stable than sector saving rates, implying that sectoral changes have been largely offsetting.

  • 4. Estimating the prevalence of COPD in Canada: Reported diagnosis versus measured airflow obstruction Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201400311908
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This study compares prevalence estimates of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease based on self-reports with those based on lung function measurements from cycle 1 of Statistics Canada's Canadian Health Measures Survey.

    Release date: 2014-03-19
  • 5. Estimating relative survival for cancer: An analysis of bias introduced by outdated life tables Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201400211903
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Based on data from the Canadian Cancer Registry, this study examines the impact of using historical rather than current life tables to estimate expected survival in calculations of relative survival ratios. Results are presented by sex, age group, and survival duration.

    Release date: 2014-02-19
  • 6. Impact of accelerometer epoch length on physical activity and sedentary behaviour outcomes for preschool-aged children Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201400111891
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    The Canadian Health Measures Survey uses accelerometry to collect physical activity and sedentary behaviour data. Between cycles 2 and 3, a transition was made from 60-second to 15-second epochs in accelerometry data for children aged 3 to 5. This study examines the impact of epoch length on physical activity and sedentary behaviour outcomes for children in this age range.

  • 7. Development of a population-based microsimulation mode of physical activity in Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201301011873
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    A computer simulation model of physical activity was developed for the Canadian adult population using longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey and cross-sectional data from the Canadian Community Health Survey. The model is based on the Population Health Model (POHEM) platform developed by Statistics Canada. This article presents an overview of POHEM and describes the additions that were made to create the physical activity module (POHEM-PA). These additions include changes in physical activity over time, and the relationship between physical activity levels and health-adjusted life expectancy, life expectancy and the onset of selected chronic conditions. Estimates from simulation projections are compared with nationally representative survey data to provide an indication of the validity of POHEM-PA.

  • 8. An Assessment of Life Satisfaction Responses on Recent Statistics Canada Surveys Archived
    Articles and reports: 11F0019M2013351
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Measures of subjective well-being are increasingly prominent in international policy discussions about how best to measure "societal progress" and the well-being of national populations. This has implications for national statistical offices, as calls have been made for them to include measures of subjective well-being in their household surveys (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development 2013). Statistics Canada has included measures of subjective well-being - particularly life satisfaction - in its surveys for twenty-five years, although the wording of these questions and the response categories have evolved over time. Statistics Canada's General Social Survey (GSS) and Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) offer a valuable opportunity to examine the stability of life satisfaction responses and their correlates from year to year using a consistent analytical framework.

  • 9. Validation of an index to estimate the prevalence of frailty among community-dwelling seniors Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201300911864
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This study validates cut-points for a frailty index to identify seniors at risk of a hospital-related event and estimates the number of frail seniors living in the community.

  • 10. An examination of the NAACCR method of assessing completeness of case ascertainment using the Canadian Cancer Registry Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201300811857
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Using data from the Canadian Cancer Registry, vital statistics and population statistics, this study examines the assumption of stable age-standardized sex- and cancer-site-specific incidence-to-mortality rate ratios across regions, which underlies the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries' (NAACCR) completeness of case indicator.

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.

Sort help

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides three options:

  • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with 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.
