  • 4. Assessing obesity beyond body mass index: Integrating physiological and functional indicators of impairment in national health surveillance
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202600300001
    Description: Body mass index (BMI) is commonly used to estimate obesity prevalence; however, reliance on BMI alone can lead to an incomplete understanding of obesity’s impact on health. In line with the 2025 recommendations of the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Commission, this study used measured and self-reported data from the 2016 to 2019 Canadian Health Measures Survey to combine population-level measures of excess adiposity with indicators of physiological dysfunction and activity limitation across eight body system domains. Clinical and preclinical obesity were characterized by excess adiposity and progressive obesity-related impairment among Canadian adults.

  • 10. Comparison of physical activity and sedentary time measured with the ActiGraph GT3X-BT and Actical accelerometers
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202600200001
    Description: Accurate and ongoing assessments of physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (SED) are needed to support public health surveillance, evaluate interventions, and advance the understanding of how movement behaviours relate to health. After six cycles of data collection (2007 to 2019) using the Actical (AC) accelerometer, the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) transitioned to the ActiGraph wGT3X-BT (AG). The AC and AG accelerometers differ technically and mechanically in how they measure movement behaviour outcomes such as SED, light PA, moderate-to-vigorous PA, and step counts. This study compares AC and AG accelerometer estimates of these movement behaviour outcomes, to determine whether these data are comparable across CHMS cycles.

  • 31. The influence of removing the 10-minute bout requirement on the demographic, behaviour and health profiles of Canadian adults who meet the physical activity recommendations
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202200800001
    Description:

    The physical activity (PA) recommendation was recently revised in the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Adults. The 150 minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA (MVPA) went from requiring that MVPA be accrued in bouts of 10 minutes or more (bouted) to having no bout requirement (non-bouted). Using adult accelerometer data from three combined cycles of the nationally representative Canadian Health Measures Survey, this study compared adherence to the bouted and non-bouted recommendations, and assessed differences in sociodemographic, health and fitness measures.

  • 32. Health associations with meeting the Canadian 24-hour movement guidelines for adults: Results from the Canadian Health Measures Survey
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202200100002
    Description:

    The Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Adults (18-64 years and 65 years or older) were launched in October 2020 and provide evidence-based recommendations for physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep. The purpose of this study was to examine whether meeting the 24-Hour Movement Guidelines overall, and different combinations of recommendations within the guidelines, was associated with health indicators in a representative sample of Canadian adults.

  • 35. Hypertension associated with hearing health problems among Canadian adults aged 19 to 79 years
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202101000002
    Description:

    Hypertension is a common condition experienced by close to one-quarter of the adult population in Canada. There is evidence that this condition or the medications used to treat it may lead to hearing health problems. The purpose of this study is to quantify associations between hypertension and hearing health problems—defined as having hearing loss, tinnitus or both conditions for adults aged 19 to 79 years. Data from cycles 3 (2012 to 2013) and 4 (2014 to 2015) of the Canadian Health Measures Survey are used.
