Each issue of Health at a Glance consists of a short non-technical article on topics that feature statistics from health-related surveys and administrative data.
Release date: 2017-04-26 - 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 - 3. Estimating relative survival for cancer: An analysis of bias introduced by outdated life tables ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201400211903Geography: CanadaDescription: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.
Release date: 2014-02-19 - 4. Non-smokers, 2012 ArchivedStats in brief: 82-625-X201400111893Geography: CanadaDescription:
This is a health fact sheet about non-smokers in Canada. The results shown are based on data from the Canadian Community Health Survey.
Release date: 2014-01-22 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201301111877Geography: CanadaDescription:
This population-based analysis uses a group-based modelling approach to identify several distinct trajectories in a large, nationally representative sample of Canadian adults.
Release date: 2013-11-20 - Stats in brief: 82-625-X201300111845Geography: CanadaDescription:
This will feature a selection of health indicators for the 34 census metropolitan areas (CMA) in Canada. Data at the provincial and national level will be presented and compared with the data for the CMA.
Release date: 2013-06-21 - Stats in brief: 82-625-X201300111807Geography: CanadaDescription:
This is a health fact sheet about the directly measured physical activity of Canadian adults (aged 18 to 79). Results shown are based on data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey.
Release date: 2013-05-30 - Stats in brief: 82-625-X201300111817Geography: CanadaDescription:
This is a health fact sheet about the directly measured physical activity of Canadian children and youth (aged 6 to 17). Results shown are based on data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey.
Release date: 2013-05-30 - 9. Screening for Chronic Diseases Among Métis ArchivedStats in brief: 89-637-X2013001Geography: CanadaDescription:
This fact sheet explores self-reported use of preventive screening tests for diabetes, high blood pressure, and prostate, breast and cervical cancers, as reported in the 2006 Aboriginal Peoples Survey. It focuses on people aged 15 and over who self-identified as Métis. The reported use of screening tests by Métis people is compared with national guidelines. Consideration is given to those with and without a regular doctor and those living in different geographical regions. Non-Aboriginal data are provided for comparison purposes when similar questions were asked on the 2008 Canadian Community Health Survey.
Release date: 2013-03-27 - 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.
