- 1. Adult obesity ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20050039276Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 2004, an estimated 5.5 million Canadian adults - 23% of the population aged 18 or older - were obese. These people tended to spend their leisure time in sedentary pursuits and to eat vegetables and fruit infrequently. Obese adults were at increased risk of high blood presssure, diabetes and heart disease.
Release date: 2006-08-22 - 2. Overweight and obesity among children and youth ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20050039277Geography: CanadaDescription:
More than a quarter - 26% - of 2- to 17-year-olds were overweight or obese in 2004. Low consumption of vegetables and fruit was associated with excess weight among this age group. As screen time (watching TV, playing video games, using a computer) increased, so did the likelihood that young people would be overweight/obese.
Release date: 2006-08-22 - 3. Obesity - a growing issue ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20050039278Geography: CanadaDescription:
By 2002/03, about a quarter of people who were 20 to 56 years old and overweight in 1994/95 had become obese. Among overweight men, the risk of obesity was high for those who were younger, smokers, or had an activity restriction. For overweight women, physical activity was protective against becoming obese.
Release date: 2006-08-22 - 4. Trends in adult obesity ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20050039279Geography: CanadaDescription:
From 1978/79 to 1986-92, the prevalence of obesity among adults was virtually unchanged, but by 2004, the proportion who were obese had increased, particularly among men.
The increase in obesity was particularly sharp among men who were former smokers.
In 1986-92, people in lower-middle, upper-middle and high income households were less likely than those in the lowest income households to be obese; by 2004, the difference had disappeared among men, and among women, persisted only for those in the highest income group.
Release date: 2006-08-22 - 5. Regional differences in obesity ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20050039280Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
The prevalence of obesity among adults was high in Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Manitoba and Saskatchewan in 2004; the prevalence was low in British Columbia.
The percentage of adults who were obese tended to be relatively low in cities, especially large ones.
The prevalence of overweight/obesity among 2- to 17-year olds was significantly high in Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Manitoba; significantly low percentages of children and youth in Alberta and Quebec were overweight/obese.
