- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500300001Description: Multimorbidity is the co-occurrence of two or more chronic diseases, and is a significant challenge for health care systems worldwide. There are limited data, particularly in a Canadian context, on multimorbidity prevalence and incidence. This study analyzed trends in the prevalence and incidence of multimorbidity and complex multimorbidity (five or more conditions) by sex, age, and neighbourhood income quintile in British Columbia. This study also identified the most prevalent disease combinations.Release date: 2025-03-19
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202000300003Description: This study examines an objective and a subjective measure of social isolation and their associations with mortality for Canadian seniors aged 65 or older.Release date: 2020-06-17
- 3. The influence of community well-being on mortality among Registered First Nations people ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201600714646Description:
This study uses the 1991-to-2006 Census Mortality and Cancer Cohort to assess the influence of community factors as measured by the Community Well-being index and individual characteristics on the mortality of individuals who identified as Registered First Nations people or Indian band members.
Release date: 2016-07-20 - 4. A spatial analysis of COPD prevalence, incidence, mortality and health service use in Ontario ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201500314144Description:
This study analyzes spatial patterns of a range of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) outcomes and health services use in Ontario using a validated population-based COPD registry and a refined geographic scale.
Release date: 2015-03-18 - 5. Is the injury gap closing between the Aboriginal and general populations of British Columbia? ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201500114131Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
This study provides an overview of trends in hospitalization injury rates between the Aboriginal and total populations of British Columbia. Hospital discharge records from 1986 through 2010 were obtained from linked health care databases maintained by Population Data BC.
Release date: 2015-01-21 - Articles and reports: 82-622-X2010004Geography: CanadaDescription:
Aboriginal people - First Nations, Métis and Inuit - comprise a growing proportion of the Canadian population. Despite the younger average age of these populations, First Nations, Métis and Inuit people tend to suffer a greater burden of morbidity and mortality than non-Aboriginal Canadians. This may be due, in part, to higher rates of socio-economic disadvantage in Aboriginal populations.
Release date: 2010-06-23 - Articles and reports: 82-622-X2010005Geography: CanadaDescription:
Health disparities between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations in Canada, including differences in life expectancies, have clearly been established. A variety of sources is currently used to measure and document these disparities, yet information gaps persist. Because of limited coverage and sample sizes, reliable health information that reflects the diversity in Canada's Aboriginal population is not always available. By assigning 2001 Census data for small geographical areas to hospital discharge records from the 2001/2002 Hospital Morbidity Database, this report provides estimates of morbidity serious enough to require hospitalization. Acute-care hospitalizations of people living in areas with a relatively high percentage of Aboriginal residents are compared with hospitalizations of residents of areas where the percentage of Aboriginal residents is low. Variations by predominant Aboriginal identity in these areas - First Nations, Métis and Inuit populations -are also explored. Factors that potentially underlie differences in hospitalization rates between residents of high- and low-Aboriginal areas are determined by adjusting for urban/rural residence and area socio-economic characteristics.
Release date: 2010-06-23 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X200800011002Description:
Based on a representative sample of the Canadian population, this article quantifies the bias resulting from the use of self-reported rather than directly measured height, weight and body mass index (BMI). Associations between BMI categories and selected health conditions are compared to see if the misclassification resulting from the use of self-reported data alters associations between obesity and obesity-related health conditions. The analysis is based on 4,567 respondents to the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) who, during a face-to-face interview, provided self-reported values for height and weight and were then measured by trained interviewers. Based on self-reported data, a substantial proportion of individuals with excess body weight were erroneously placed in lower BMI categories. This misclassification resulted in elevated associations between overweight/obesity and morbidity.
Release date: 2009-12-03 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X200900411019Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article profiles differences in health-adjusted life expectancy across income categories for a representative sample of the Canadian population. Mortality data were obtained from the 1991-2001 Canadian census mortality follow-up study, which linked a 15% sample of the 1991 adult non-institutional population with 11 years of death records from the Canadian Mortality Data Base.
Release date: 2009-11-18 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X200900410934Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study compares several major risk factors and chronic conditions in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations not living on reserves in the North (Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut) and in southern Canada at two time points. The data are from cycle 1.1 (2000/2001) and cycle 3.1 (2005/2006) of the Canadian Community Health Survey.

- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 84-548-XDescription:
This report describes the design, methodology, and results of the first study undertaken by Statistics Canada to measure the impact on Canadian cause of death trends of a new revision of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD).
Using 1999 Canadian mortality data, Statistics Canada carried out a comparability, or "bridge-coding", study by dual-coding deaths to both the Ninth and Tenth Revisions of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9 and ICD-10). The preliminary results of this exercise were used to generate comparability ratios; these ratios measure the net effect of the new revision, with ratios above 1.00 indicating a net increase in deaths classified to a cause of death, and ratios below 1.00 indicating a net decrease.
The comparability ratios derived from dual-coding medical certificates of cause of death presented in this report estimate the size and direction of the disruption to cause of death trends due to the implementation of ICD-10. Researchers and analysts using Canadian mortality data should use these summary measures to calculate comparability-modified death counts and mortality rates to bridge the gap between ICD-9 and ICD-10.
Release date: 2005-11-23 - 2. Particulate matter and daily mortality: Combining time series information from eight U.S. cities ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 11-522-X19990015656Description:
Time series studies have shown associations between air pollution concentrations and morbidity and mortality. These studies have largely been conducted within single cities, and with varying methods. Critics of these studies have questioned the validity of the data sets used and the statistical techniques applied to them; the critics have noted inconsistencies in findings among studies and even in independent re-analyses of data from the same city. In this paper we review some of the statistical methods used to analyze a subset of a national data base of air pollution, mortality and weather assembled during the National Morbidity and Mortality Air Pollution Study (NMMAPS).
