- Articles and reports: 82-624-X201400111922Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper presents estimates of obesity adjusted for certain biases in self-reported data. Adjusted estimates for adult Canadians by age, sex, and multiple levels of geography are provided using data from the 2011-2012 Canadian Community Health Survey.
Release date: 2014-05-28 - 2. Estimating the prevalence of COPD in Canada: Reported diagnosis versus measured airflow obstruction ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201400311908Geography: CanadaDescription:
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 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2014357Geography: CanadaDescription:
An emerging area of subjective well-being (SWB) research is centered on the differences in the levels of SWB both across countries and among geographic regions within a country. The consideration of geographic differences would extend our knowledge about the determinants of SWB from "internal" factors of personality traits and individuals' socio-demographic characteristics to "external factors" embedded in individuals' environments. An issue with important theoretical and policy implications is whether the income of others in the same geographic area is associated with individuals' SWB. The association could be positive if people benefit from the improved resources, amenities, and social capital in high-income areas. The association could also be negative if people tend to emulate the lifestyles of their more affluent neighbours. Related empirical studies so far have not come to a consensus on this question.
The present study attempts to contribute to this issue in two significant ways. First, this study examines whether the effect of the average income in a geographic area (locality income) on SWB is sensitive to the scale of geographic units. With a very large sample of survey respondents nested within three hierarchical levels of geographic areas, this study provides reliable estimates of the association of SWB with average incomes in immediate neighbourhoods (defined as "census dissemination areas"), local communities ("census tracts"), and municipalities ("census subdivisions"). Second, this study examines how the choice of control variables influences the estimated effect of locality income. By considering the effects of individual demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, self-evaluated general health, and area-level attributes in a sequential manner, it is possible to discuss the likely mechanisms through which locality income is related to individuals' SWB.

This study compares estimates of the prevalence of cigarette smoking based on self-report with estimates based on urinary cotinine concentrations. The data are from the 2007 to 2009 Canadian Health Measures Survey, which included self-reported smoking status and the first nationally representative measures of urinary cotinine.
Release date: 2012-02-15 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201100411559Geography: CanadaDescription:
With data from the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada, this analysis examines the relationship between self-reported official language proficiency and transitions to poor self-reported health during the first four years in the country.
Release date: 2011-10-19 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201100311533Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study compares the bias in self-reported height, weight and body mass index in the 2008 and 2005 Canadian Community Health Surveys and the 2007 to 2009 Canadian Health Measures Survey. The feasibility of using correction equations to adjust self-reported 2008 Canadian Community Health Survey values to more closely approximate measured values is assessed.
Release date: 2011-08-17 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201100211435Geography: CanadaDescription:
Data from the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey - Nutrition were used to examine the relationships between household food security and self-reported health, well-being and health behaviours in a sample of Aboriginal adults living off reserve.
Release date: 2011-05-18 - 8. Validation of self-rated mental health ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201000311288Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article assesses the association between self-rated mental health and selected World Mental Health-Composite International Diagnostic Interview-measured disorders, self-reported diagnoses of mental disorders, and psychological distress in the Canadian population.
Release date: 2010-07-21 - Articles and reports: 82-622-X2010004Geography: CanadaDescription:
Aboriginal people - First Nations, Métis and Inuit - comprise a growing proportion of the Canadian population. Despite the younger average age of these populations, First Nations, Métis and Inuit people tend to suffer a greater burden of morbidity and mortality than non-Aboriginal Canadians. This may be due, in part, to higher rates of socio-economic disadvantage in Aboriginal populations.
Release date: 2010-06-23 - 10. Health and employment ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200910913236Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines the relationship between health and work. Poor mental and physical health were found to decrease the probability of being employed, particularly among men. For women, mental health problems were also associated with working fewer hours.
