1. Understanding mortality differentials of Black adults in Canada
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500400001
Description: Prior analyses using national population-based cohorts such as the Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohorts identified elevated mortality risks among Black adults, compared with White adults in Canada. These mortality risks, such as those from HIV/AIDS, prostate cancer, diabetes, cerebrovascular diseases, and various cancers, were differentially higher among Black adults despite accounting for social determinants of health. This study seeks to delve deeper in understanding the paths that contribute to the differential mortality patterns observed in the previous study, particularly for the outcomes that showed substantial increased risk for both Black males and females.

2. Mortality among First Nations people, 2006 to 2016
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202101000001
Description:
Despite extensive research on health disparities, a limited number of studies have examined First Nations people’s mortality on a national scale, particularly those examining specific causes of death. This analysis attempts to fill the information gap using linked mortality data from the 2006 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort to calculate the number and rates of deaths for a 10-year follow-up period for on- and off-reserve First Nations people and the non-Indigenous population, by sex, age and region.

3. Disease assimilation: The mortality impacts of fine particulate matter on immigrants to Canada Archived
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202000300002
Description: The purpose of this study was to assess the risk of non accidental and cause specific mortality associated with long term exposure to PM2.5 among immigrants after they arrived in Canada, and to assess how this risk compares with that of the non immigrant population. Using the Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort, this study also sought to determine the influence of several immigrant specific variables on the PM2.5 -mortality association, including duration in Canada, country of birth, age at immigration and neighbourhood ethnic concentration.

4. Social isolation and mortality among Canadian seniors Archived
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202000300003
Description: This study examines an objective and a subjective measure of social isolation and their associations with mortality for Canadian seniors aged 65 or older.

5. Life expectancy of First Nations, Métis and Inuit household populations in Canada Archived
Articles and reports: 82-003-X201901200001
Description: In Canada, estimating the life expectancy of Indigenous populations is methodologically challenging since death registrations do not usually collect information on whether the deceased was Indigenous. For the first time in Canada, a series of census-mortality linked datasets has been created that can be used to estimate trends in life expectancies among Indigenous household populations enumerated by a census. The objectives of this article are to 1) estimate life expectancy for First Nations people, Métis and Inuit at various ages and by sex for 2011, and compare it with that of the non-Indigenous population 2) examine trends in longevity since 1996 for First Nations people, Métis and Inuit and the non-Indigenous population, and estimate whether the disparity between Indigenous populations and the non-Indigenous population has changed over time. In doing so, this study aims to fill an important information gap by providing a national picture of the life expectancy of First Nations people, Métis and Inuit.

6. Does geography matter in mortality? An analysis of potentially avoidable mortality by remoteness index in Canada Archived
Articles and reports: 82-003-X201900500001
Description: This study uses the new remoteness index (RI) classification, which assigns a value to each census subdivision (CSD) and measures the relative remoteness of Canadian communities on the basis of their size and their proximity to surrounding population centres, to distinguish rural and remote areas from urban areas in Canada. The Canadian Vital Statistics-Death Database (2011 to 2015), and the 2016 Census of Population are also used in this study to examine major causes of both preventable and treatable mortality by relative remoteness of Canadian communities. It explores the interrelationship between remoteness and avoidable mortality while taking into account three important variables: average household income after-tax, the proportion of postsecondary graduates and the proportion of Aboriginal population by CSD.

7. Employment and Social Assistance Receipt Among Overdose Fatalities in British Columbia Archived
Articles and reports: 11-626-X2019004
Geography: Province or territory
Description:
This article in the Economics Insights series documents the employment histories and income sources of people who died of an illicit drug overdose in British Columbia from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2016. The data are from the British Columbia (BC) Coroners Service and from administrative data files.

8. Linking the 2006 Census of Population to the Canadian Mortality Database: Descriptive and Validation Study Archived
Articles and reports: 11-633-X2018014
Description:
The Canadian Mortality Database (CMDB) is an administrative database that collects information on cause of death from all provincial and territorial vital statistics registries in Canada. The CMDB lacks subpopulation identifiers to examine mortality rates and disparities among groups such as First Nations, Métis, Inuit and members of visible minority groups. Linkage between the CMDB and the Census of Population is an approach to circumvent this limitation. This report describes a linkage between the CMDB (2006 to 2011) and the 2006 Census of Population, which was carried out using hierarchical deterministic exact matching, with a focus on methodology and validation.

9. The Girl Child Archived
Articles and reports: 89-503-X201500114680
Description:
The chapter entitled "Women in Canada: The Girl Child" explores the diverse circumstances and experiences of girls aged 17 and under. The chapter describes the demographic characteristics of girls in Canada and presents several topics related to their well-being including: living arrangements, socioeconomic conditions, physical health and development, mortality, emotional and social health and development, child care, school readiness, education, and personal security. Where possible, comparisons are made between girls in different age groups, between girls and boys, and within several subpopulations.

10. The 2001 Canadian Census–Tax–Mortality Cohort: A 10-Year Follow-up Archived
Articles and reports: 11-633-X2016003
Description:
Large national mortality cohorts are used to estimate mortality rates for different socioeconomic and population groups, and to conduct research on environmental health. In 2008, Statistics Canada created a cohort linking the 1991 Census to mortality. The present study describes a linkage of the 2001 Census long-form questionnaire respondents aged 19 years and older to the T1 Personal Master File and the Amalgamated Mortality Database. The linkage tracks all deaths over a 10.6-year period (until the end of 2011, to date).
