- Articles and reports: 82-618-M2006005Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines changes in weight over two-year intervals from 1996/1997 to 2004/2005 among Canadians aged 18 to 64 years. Using data from the longitudinal National Population Health Survey (NPHS), average weight change over four two-year intervals was examined for men and women by age group and body mass index (BMI) group. This article is part of the NPHS release and provides links to tables, other research articles and information about the National Population Health Survey.
Release date: 2006-11-06 - 2. Adult obesity ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20050039276Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 2004, an estimated 5.5 million Canadian adults - 23% of the population aged 18 or older - were obese. These people tended to spend their leisure time in sedentary pursuits and to eat vegetables and fruit infrequently. Obese adults were at increased risk of high blood presssure, diabetes and heart disease.
Release date: 2006-08-22 - 3. Overweight and obesity among children and youth ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20050039277Geography: CanadaDescription:
More than a quarter - 26% - of 2- to 17-year-olds were overweight or obese in 2004. Low consumption of vegetables and fruit was associated with excess weight among this age group. As screen time (watching TV, playing video games, using a computer) increased, so did the likelihood that young people would be overweight/obese.
Release date: 2006-08-22 - 4. 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 - 5. 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: 2006-08-22 - 6. Regional differences in obesity ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20050039280Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
The prevalence of obesity among adults was high in Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Manitoba and Saskatchewan in 2004; the prevalence was low in British Columbia.
The percentage of adults who were obese tended to be relatively low in cities, especially large ones.
The prevalence of overweight/obesity among 2- to 17-year olds was significantly high in Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Manitoba; significantly low percentages of children and youth in Alberta and Quebec were overweight/obese.

This article presents diabetes prevalence by age, sex and province or territory for the population aged 12 and over, using data from the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey. The article also examines questions related to specific health care received by individuals who have been diagnosed with diabetes. These questions are part of a module introduced in the survey to respond to a lack of data in regards to detailed information on health care required to the prevention of serious complications resulting from diabetes. The module was offered as optional content to health regions from across Canada. In the 2005 Cycle, health regions from Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Ontario and Manitoba all selected the diabetic care module. Analysis on diabetic care only includes respondents aged 18 and over.

As well as sub-zero temperatures and snowstorms, flu viruses arrive with the Canadian winter. Healthy people usually recover from the fever, cough, headache and other symptoms in less than a week. But some "especially seniors and those with lung or cardiac conditions" may have more severe cases of the flu and may even need to be hospitalized.

This document examines the functional limitations, physical, emotional and social, related to the musculoskeletal conditions having the largest impact on the health of Canadians. These functional limitations are described and classified using the Classification and Measurement System of Functional Health (CLAMES).
These descriptions and classifications are the first step in a new approach to measuring the health of Canadians that examines what factors are adversely affecting population health and how to address them. This document also provides health professionals, advocacy groups, and individual Canadians with an overview of how living with certain musculoskeletal conditions affects day-to-day functioning.
