  • 1. A pan-Canadian dataset of neighbourhood retail food environment measures using Statistics Canada's Business Register
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202200200001
    Description:

    The retail food environment is a modifiable component of the built environment which has the potential to contribute to improvements in the diets of Canadians at the population level. It is defined by geographic access to different types of retail food sources, including restaurants and food stores. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development and validation of the Canadian Food Environment Dataset (Can-FED): a pan-Canadian dataset of retail food environment measures at the dissemination area (DA) level using food outlet data from the 2018 Statistics Canada Business Register.

  • 2. Eating away from home in Canada: Impact on dietary intake
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202100800003
    Description:

    Little empirical attention has been paid to patterns of Canadians' consumption of food away from home (FAFH) before the pandemic. According to a 2004 national-level dietary survey, one-quarter of Canadians reported having eaten something from a fast-food outlet on the previous day. More recent data on Canadians' FAFH consumption would serve as a valuable benchmark to estimate any post-pandemic changes in Canadians' dietary habits. This study used 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey-Nutrition, the most recent national-level dietary data available, to characterize patterns of FAFH consumption in a restaurant setting and to assess differences in the dietary intake profile on a day when FAFH was consumed or not consumed.

  • 3. Change in vegetable and fruit consumption in Canada between 2004 and 2015
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202000400001
    Description:

    This study used the most recent national-level data available on Canadians' dietary intakes to describe the quantity and composition of Canadians' vegetable and fruit intake in 2015 and to compare these with estimates from 2004. A secondary objective of this study was to assess the distribution of usual vegetable and fruit consumption and how it relates to recommendations in the 2007 Canada Food Guide, which was the food guide in effect in 2015. Data are from the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) - Nutrition and the 2004 CCHS - Nutrition (Cycle 2.2).

    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201900200001
    Description:

    Using data from the first four cycles of the Canadian Health Measures Survey, this study examined the major risk factors for hypertensive status among Canadians aged 20 to 79 years, and employed a composite risk score to predict hypertension in women and men across a wide range of ages.

  • 7. Accounting for misreporting when comparing energy intake across time in Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201800554965
    Description:

    Estimates of energy intake are lower in 2015 compared with 2004. The difference observed is too large to be explained by a change in energy requirements or physical activity at the population level. Self-reported dietary intake is subject to misreporting and may explain part of this difference. The objectives of this study are to assess how misreporting has changed from 2004 to 2015 and to demonstrate how these changes may affect the interpretation of the national intake data of Canadians. Data from the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey - Nutrition (CCHS - Nutrition) and the 2015 CCHS - Nutrition were used to estimate energy intake and requirements for all participants aged 2 or older.

  • 2. Statistical Report on the Health of Canadians Archived
    Table: 82-570-X
    Geography: Province or territory
    Description:

    This is the second version of the Statistical report on the health of Canadians. Like the original in 1996, this report provides a comprehensive and detailed statistical overview of the health status of Canadians and the major determinants of that status. The original report was created for the Federal, Provincial and Territorial Advisory Committee on Population Health, which has also commissioned this update. The broad purpose of the report is to help policy-makers and program planners identify priority issues and measure progress in the domain of population health.

    The Statistical report is meant to be a tool for learning as well as planning. The data identify populations at risk; suggest associations between health determinants, health status, and population characteristics; raise questions about the reasons for the widespread differences among the provinces and territories; and illustrate areas where Canada's health information system is robust, and others where it is relatively weak. These and other themes are touched on in the 11 section introductions of the Statistical Report and developed more fully in the companion publication, Toward a healthy future: second report on the health of Canadians. These publications are available at the Health Canada web site at: http://www.hc-sc.ca.
