- Articles and reports: 82-003-X201300211769Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study describes trajectories of health-related quality of life (HRQL) in relation to smoking status. A specific focus is a comparison between former and never-smokers, with the aim of quantifying the time required after quitting for the HRQL of former smokers to be similar to that of never-smokers. An important advantage to the analysis was the availability of longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey, which collected information from survey participants every two years over a 16-year period.
Release date: 2013-02-20 - Articles and reports: 75-001-X201010613251Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study examines associations between health factors and early exits from the labour market. Using all available cycles of the National Population Health Survey, the likelihood of workers age 40 to 52 in 1994/1995 stopping work in the subsequent 12 years is examined controlling for sociodemographic factors.
Release date: 2010-09-21 - 3. Work stress and job performance ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200711210466Geography: CanadaDescription:
Work stress is widely recognized as a major challenge to both the individual and the economy. It can come from many sources and affect people in different ways. As well, a variety of mitigating factors enter the equation. This article investigates levels, sources and effects of work stress for various socio-demographic and occupational groups.
Release date: 2008-03-18 - 4. Depression at work ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200711113198Geography: CanadaDescription:
Worldwide, depression is the leading cause of years lived with disability. It can affect many aspects of life, including work. In fact, the impact of depression on job performance has been estimated to be greater than that of chronic conditions. In 2002, almost 4% of employed Canadians aged 25 to 64 had had an episode of depression in the previous year. These workers had high odds of reducing work activity because of a long-term health condition, having at least one mental health disability day in the past two weeks, and being absent from work in the past week. In addition, depression was associated with reduced work activity and disability days two years later.
Release date: 2007-12-19 - 5. Depression and work impairment ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20060019566Geography: CanadaDescription:
Almost 4% of workers aged 25 to 64 in 2002 had had an episode of depression the previous year. Compared with people who had not experienced depression, they had high odds of reducing work activity and being absent from work.
Release date: 2007-02-21 - 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 - 7. Job strain and retirement ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200510713147Geography: CanadaDescription:
Excessive demands coupled with a lack of decision-making power can lead to job strain. Are older workers (aged 45 to 57) who experience high job strain more likely to retire early than those who do not feel under the same pressure at work? Managers, professionals, and technicians seem to be more affected than other occupations.
Release date: 2005-09-21 - 8. The changing health of immigrants ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20050028454Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using longitudinal data from Statistics Canada's National Population Health Survey (NPHS), this article assesses the health impact of the immigration process, as individuals adjust to life in Canada, by comparing changes in immigrants' self-perceived health status, health care use, and health-related behaviours with those of the Canadian-born population. Information was collected from the same individuals over an eight-year period from 1994-1995 to 2002-2003.
Release date: 2005-09-13 - 9. Obesity: A Growing Issue ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-618-M2005003Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines weight gain over the past decade for Canadians who were aged between 20 and 56 years old in 1994-1995. Using the longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey, it looks at the relationship between becoming obese and factors such as sex, household income, marital status, smoking, drinking and the level of physical activity. This article is part of an Internet publication that provides links to tables, other research articles and information about the National Population Health Survey.
Release date: 2005-04-07 - 10. Dynamics of Immigrants' Health in Canada: Evidence from the National Population Health Survey ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-618-M2005002Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article compares the changes in immigrants' health status over the last decade with that of the Canadian-born population. Based on longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey, the article also examines risk factors such as daily cigarette smoking, level of physical activity during leisure time and weight gain, to assess health changes while taking into account some socio-economic factors. This article is part of an Internet publication that provides links to tables, other research articles and information about the National Population Health Survey.
