- 1. Profile of seniors' transportation habits ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X201200111619Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines various issues related to seniors' access to transportation and to a vehicle. The first part focuses on determining which seniors have a driver's licence and drive a car, including those with the weakest visual, auditory, motor and cognitive faculties. The second part of the article describes seniors' main forms of transportation other than driving a car. The last part examines the impact of seniors' main form of transportation on their level of social participation.
Release date: 2012-01-23 - 2. 2007 General Social Survey: Care Tables ArchivedTable: 89-633-XGeography: Province or territoryDescription:
Cycle 21 of the 2007 General Social Survey (GSS) was on "Family, Social Support and Retirement". Data were collected over a 9 month period from March to December 2007 with a sample of approximately 25,000 respondents representing the non-institutionalized population in the 10 provinces. These tables contain data on the prevalence of care given and received by seniors because of long-term health problems, selected employment consequences of providing care to seniors and self-rated stress experienced by caregivers. All tables are available by sex and age groups, and for Canada and the provinces or regions.
Release date: 2008-10-21 - 3. Aging, health and work ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610213157Geography: CanadaDescription:
While the majority of Canadians aged 50 to 69 not in the labour force were retired in 2003, nearly half a million were not working for health-related reasons. The Canadian Community Health Survey is used to compare the health of working individuals aged 50 to 69 with their contemporaries who are not working, whether for health or other reasons. Chronic conditions and lifestyle choices are also examined.
Release date: 2006-03-20 - Articles and reports: 82-003-S20050009087Geography: CanadaDescription:
Dependency, chronic conditions and pain in seniors estimates the prevalence of dependency in the population aged 65 or older by age group and by the presence of specific chronic conditions. The analysis focuses on how the relationship between dependency and chronic conditions is affected when pain is also considered.
Release date: 2005-02-09 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X20020046595Geography: CanadaDescription:
More than half of dependent seniors living in the community received help from informal sources only, and around a quarter relied exclusively on formal help. For those getting both types of assistance, increased hours from formal sources did not significantly reduce the hours received from informal sources.
Release date: 2003-08-12 - 6. Loss and recovery of independence among seniors ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20010046316Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article identifies risk factors associated with the loss and recovery of independence among the household population aged 65 or older.
Release date: 2002-07-25 - Articles and reports: 11-008-X19990034790Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article compares some selected indicators of psychological and social well-being for married seniors in poor health with those for seniors in good health. It also examines whether the well-being of partners is affected by their spouse's health.
Release date: 1999-12-09 - 8. Chronic conditions, physical limitations and dependency among seniors living in the community ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19960033014Geography: CanadaDescription:
The majority (75%) of people aged 55 and over who live in the community, as opposed to living in long-term health care institutions, report having at least one chronic condition. However, only about one in six has some physical limitation. As well, one in six men and one in four women who live in the community need help with everyday activities such as housework or meal preparation. With advancing age, the prevalence of most chronic conditions increases, as does the prevalence of physical problems and dependency. The contribution of particular conditions to physical limitations and dependency varies. According to Statistics Canada's 1994-95 National Population Health Survey, the conditions most strongly related to physical limitations and to the need for help with activities of daily living were epilepsy and the effects of stroke, neither of which affected a large percentage of the household population aged 55 and over. By contrast, arthritis/rheumatism, non-arthritic back problems and cataracts, which were also associated with physical limitations and dependency, affected a relatively large percentage of community-dwelling seniors. This article shows the prevalence of specific chronic conditions, physical limitations and dependency among people aged 55 and over living in the community, by sex and age. Logistic regression is used to examine relationships between each chronic condition and the existence of physical limitations and dependency.
