- 61. Obesity - a growing issue ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20050039278Geography: CanadaDescription:
By 2002/03, about a quarter of people who were 20 to 56 years old and overweight in 1994/95 had become obese. Among overweight men, the risk of obesity was high for those who were younger, smokers, or had an activity restriction. For overweight women, physical activity was protective against becoming obese.
Release date: 2006-08-22 - 62. Trends in adult obesity ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20050039279Geography: CanadaDescription:
From 1978/79 to 1986-92, the prevalence of obesity among adults was virtually unchanged, but by 2004, the proportion who were obese had increased, particularly among men.
The increase in obesity was particularly sharp among men who were former smokers.
In 1986-92, people in lower-middle, upper-middle and high income households were less likely than those in the lowest income households to be obese; by 2004, the difference had disappeared among men, and among women, persisted only for those in the highest income group.

Release date: 2006-08-03 - Articles and reports: 56F0004M2006013Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study aims to develop a better understanding of the social impacts associated with Internet use in Canada. Although much work has been accomplished on the penetration and use of the Internet, this study uses data from the General Social Survey, Cycle 19: Time Use to better understand how personal use of the Internet fits in the day-to-day lives of Canadians.
The survey provides a time-diary account of respondent activities over a 24-hour period, enabling detailed comparisons among heavy Internet users, moderate users, and non-Internet users and their time allocation decisions. Heavy Internet users spent more time alone during the diary day than non-Internet users, even when compared to people of the same social and demographic background. Although they spent less time with family and friends, many heavy Internet users participated in online activities involving social interaction, such as email or chatting with others.

- 1. The core-age labour force ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610913171Geography: CanadaDescription:
