- Articles and reports: 82-003-X201401114111Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study provides empirical data on the bias introduced into relative survival ratios in Canada by using general population life tables (unadjusted for cancer mortality) to derive expected survival probabilities.
Release date: 2014-11-19 - 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 - 3. Are the fittest Canadian adults the healthiest? ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201400514006Geography: CanadaDescription:
Data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (cycles 1 and 2) were analyzed to determine if higher fitness categories are associated with better health.
Release date: 2014-05-21 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201400411923Geography: CanadaDescription:
Based on the results of a population-based survey conducted in the four western provinces, this analysis examines the prevalence of barriers to the receipt of care from primary care physicians and to other health services among adults aged 40 or older who reported having been diagnosed with diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and/or stroke. Socio-demographic factors associated with barriers to care are also explored.
Release date: 2014-04-16 - 5. Trends in out-of-pocket health care expenditures in Canada, by household income, 1997 to 2009 ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201400411924Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using data from the annual Survey of Household Spending, this study investigates trends in out-of-pocket expenditures on health care products and services from 1997 to 2009 by household income quintile.
Release date: 2014-04-16 - 6. 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: 82-003-X201400311909Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using multiple-cause-of-death data, this study examines diabetes mellitus as either the underlying cause or a contributing cause of mortality during the 2004-to-2008 period.
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.
Release date: 2014-02-20 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201400211902Geography: CanadaDescription:
Based on 2004/2005 to 2009/2010 data from the Discharge Abstract Database, this study examines associations between unintentional injury hospitalizations and socio-economic status and location relative to an urban core in Dissemination Areas with a high percentage of First Nations identity residents versus a low percentage of Aboriginal identity residents based on the predominant Aboriginal group.
Release date: 2014-02-19 - 10. Estimating relative survival for cancer: An analysis of bias introduced by outdated life tables ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201400211903Geography: CanadaDescription:
Based on data from the Canadian Cancer Registry, this study examines the impact of using historical rather than current life tables to estimate expected survival in calculations of relative survival ratios. Results are presented by sex, age group, and survival duration.
