- Articles and reports: 82-003-X201500714204Description:
The objective of this study was to determine if the prevalence of overweight and obesity is associated with neighbourhood walkability. The analysis tested whether a dose-response relationship between the Street Smart Walk Score® and various measures of physical activity, overweight, and obesity existed in a large, population-based sample of adults in urban and suburban Ontario.

Discrepancies between self-reported and objectively measured physical activity are well-known. For the purpose of validation, this study compares a new self-reported physical activity questionnaire with an existing one and with accelerometer data.
Release date: 2015-07-15 - 3. Quality control and data reduction procedures for accelerometry-derived measures of physical activity ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201000111066Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article considers critical quality control and data reduction procedures that should be addressed before physical activity information is derived from accelerometry data.
Release date: 2010-01-13 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X200800410704Geography: CanadaDescription:
A 24-hour dietary recall from 16,190 respondents aged 12 or older to the Canadian Community Health Survey - Nutrition was used to determine energy and nutrient intake. To identify plausible respondents, a confidence interval was applied to total energy expenditure derived from equations developed by the Institute of Medicine. Estimates of energy and nutrient intake for plausible respondents were compared with estimates for all respondents.
Release date: 2008-10-15 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X20010026090Geography: Census metropolitan areaDescription:
The number of calls in a telephone survey is used as an indicator of how difficult an intended respondent is to reach. This permits a probabilistic division of the non-respondents into non-susceptibles (those who will always refuse to respond), and the susceptible non-respondents (those who were not available to respond) in a model of the non-response. Further, it permits stochastic estimation of the views of the latter group and an evaluation of whether the non-response is ignorable for inference about the dependent variable. These ideas are implemented on the data from a survey in Metropolitan Toronto of attitudes toward smoking in the workplace. Using a Bayesian model, the posterior distribution of the model parameters is sampled by Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. The results reveal that the non-response is not ignorable and those who do not respond are twice as likely to favor unrestricted smoking in the workplace as are those who do.
Release date: 2002-02-28 - 6. The health of lone mothers ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19990024733Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article focuses on differences in the health status and health care utilization patterns of mothers in two-parent families, women who recently became lone parents, and women who had been lone parents for a longer period. Changes in the health of these women and their health care use over time are also explored.
Release date: 1999-11-16 - 7. Long working hours and health ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19990024734Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines associations between long working hours, depression and changes in selected health behaviours. Based on an analysis of people followed over a two-year period, the relationship between changes in work hours and changes in health behaviours is explored.
