- 1. Health and employment ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200910913236Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines the relationship between health and work. Poor mental and physical health were found to decrease the probability of being employed, particularly among men. For women, mental health problems were also associated with working fewer hours.
Release date: 2009-12-17 - 2. Work life balance of older workers ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200911013238Geography: CanadaDescription:
Although it has received some attention in the Canadian literature, the issue of work life balance of older workers remains largely understudied. This article addresses that gap using data from the 2005 General Social Survey. Overall, 14% of Canadian workers age 55 and over reported being dissatisfied with their work life balance in 2005. The sources of conflict most frequently cited were too much time on the job and too little time for the family. Work life balance dissatisfaction was associated with having a disability, providing elder care, working long hours, occupying a managerial position and being a woman. At the same time, having an employed partner, being self-employed and enjoying one's job reduced the probability of work life conflict. When the self-selection of older individuals out of employment was taken into account, the risk of work life conflict did not vary with age.
Release date: 2009-12-17 - 3. Profiling physical activity patterns among women in Manitoba: What does "moderate" mean? ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X200800010973Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
The Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) provides timely estimates of health information at the sub-provincial level. We explore two main issues that prevented us from using physical activity data from CCHS cycle 3.1 (2005) as part of the Profile of Women's Health in Manitoba. CCHS uses the term 'moderate' to describe physical effort that meets Canadian minimum guidelines, whereas 'moderate' conversely describes sub-minimal levels of activity. A Manitoba survey of physical activity interrogates a wider variety of activities to measure respondents' daily energy expenditure. We found the latter survey better suited to our needs and more likely a better measure of women's daily physical activity and health.
Release date: 2009-12-03 - 4. An update on mammography use in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X200900310873Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article updates mammography use by Canadian women aged 50 to 69, and reports trends from 1990 to 2008 among the provinces.
Release date: 2009-06-30 - Table: 89-637-X2009005Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
A series of supporting data tables accompanies the Métis analytical article from the 2006 Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS). These tables provide data at the provincial/regional level for the Métis identity population (aged 15 and older) for some of the major themes covered in the analytical article, including: self rated health status; percentage diagnosed with arthritis/rheumatism, high blood pressure, stomach problems or intestinal ulcers, asthma and diabetes; having a regular family doctor; not receiving health care when needed and; reasons for not completing elementary or secondary school. For Métis children aged 6 to 14, tables include: self-rated health status; frequency of participation in sports and; contact with a pediatrician, general practitioner or family physician in the past 12 months.
Release date: 2009-03-26 - Articles and reports: 89-637-X2009004Geography: CanadaDescription:
This report explores some initial findings regarding the health and well-being of Métis adults (aged 15 and over) and children (aged 6 to 14) from the 2006 Aboriginal Peoples Survey. Information on self-rated health, physical activity level, and opinions on how Métis can improve their health are provided. Important indicators of health such as chronic conditions and healthcare utilization, and some key social determinants of health are also examined. Some comparisons are made over time (between 2001 and 2006), revealing areas of improvement and decline. In addition, some comparisons are made between Métis men and women from urban and rural areas and from different age groups. Finally, where possible, comparisons are made between Métis and the total Canadian population.
Release date: 2009-02-19 - Stats in brief: 89-637-X2009006Geography: CanadaDescription:
This is one of three fact sheets in the series using information from the 2006 Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS) and 2006 Census. This fact sheet provides information on the health and well-being of Métis adults (aged 15 and over) and children (aged 6 to 14).
Release date: 2009-02-19 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X200900110794Geography: CanadaDescription:
Taking account of the impacts of institutionalization and death, this study decribes the normative trajectories of health-related quality of life in Canada as individuals age from mid- to late life.
