- 1. A Profile of Disability in Canada, 2001 ArchivedJournals and periodicals: 89-577-XGeography: Province or territoryDescription:
The 2001 Participation and Activity Limitation Survey (PALS) is a post-censal survey of adults and children whose everyday activities may be limited because of a condition or health problem. A sample of those persons who answered 'Yes' to the 2001 Census disability filter questions were included in the PALS Survey population. Approximately 35,000 adults and 8,000 children living in private and some collective households in the 10 provinces were selected to participate in the survey. The data was collected after the 2001 Census, in the fall of 2001.
This paper presents initial results on the number of persons with disabilities, disability rates as well as the type and severity of disability, by age and sex, for Canada and the provinces.
Release date: 2003-12-03 - Articles and reports: 82-003-S20030006679Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article investigates behaviours, circumstances and parental characteristics that relate to obesity in adolescents. Differences between boys and girls, which may reflect gender-specific social pressures and responses to such pressures, are also explored.
Release date: 2003-10-31 - 3. Impact of chronic conditions ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20020046596Geography: CanadaDescription:
The impact of chronic conditions on health status varies at different ages. At younger ages, urinary incontinence and arthritis/rheumatism significantly compromise health-related quality of life, while at older ages, Alzheimer's disease and stroke have the greatest effect.
Release date: 2003-08-12 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X20020036557Geography: CanadaDescription:
After rising in the early 1990s, prostate cancer incidence rates have fallen. Mortality rates from the disease decreased among men aged 60 or older, but are little changed among younger men. In 2000/01, about four in 10 men aged 40 or older reported having had a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test.
Release date: 2003-05-23 - 5. Social support and mortality in seniors ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20020036598Geography: CanadaDescription:
Among senior men, but not women, being married and participating in organizations were each independently predictive of survival over the six years from 1994/95 to 2000/01.
Release date: 2003-05-23 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X20020036599Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 2000/01, 4.5% of Canadians aged 18 or older, an estimated 1.1 million, had diabetes. Advancing age, family history, sedentary leisure time and excess weight were associated with developing the disease.
Release date: 2003-05-23 - Table: 82-577-XDescription:
Optional content to the Canadian Community Health Survey was negotiated by some provinces or territories and for some health regions. The data from that content provide information on the following variables: self esteem, mastery, alcohol dependence, sedentary activities, changes made to improve health, decision latitude at work, home care utilization, social support, influenza immunization, bicycle-helmet use, condom use, tobacco alternatives, smoking cessation aids, physical check-up, eye examination, dental visits, breast examinations and breast self-examinations, blood pressure check, suicidal thoughts and attempts, distress, moods, and spirituality.
Related tables to the Canadian Community Health Survey provide information on the following variables: unmet health-care needs, prostate-specific antigen and former smokers.
Release date: 2003-03-03 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X20020026436Geography: Census metropolitan areaDescription:
This study examines the association of neighbourhood low income and income inequality with individual health outcomes in Toronto, Canada's largest census metropolitan area.
Release date: 2003-02-12 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X20020026437Geography: CanadaDescription:
Self-reports of prescription drug insurance coverage reflect substantial under-reporting among seniors and social recipients-respondents who were eligible for publicly funded provincial benefits.
Release date: 2003-02-12 - 10. A hierarchical Bayesian nonignorable nonresponse model for multinomial data from small areas ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X20020026428Description:
The analysis of survey data from different geographical areas where the data from each area are polychotomous can be easily performed using hierarchical Bayesian models, even if there are small cell counts in some of these areas. However, there are difficulties when the survey data have missing information in the form of non-response, especially when the characteristics of the respondents differ from the non-respondents. We use the selection approach for estimation when there are non-respondents because it permits inference for all the parameters. Specifically, we describe a hierarchical Bayesian model to analyse multinomial non-ignorable non-response data from different geographical areas; some of them can be small. For the model, we use a Dirichlet prior density for the multinomial probabilities and a beta prior density for the response probabilities. This permits a 'borrowing of strength' of the data from larger areas to improve the reliability in the estimates of the model parameters corresponding to the smaller areas. Because the joint posterior density of all the parameters is complex, inference is sampling-based and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are used. We apply our method to provide an analysis of body mass index (BMI) data from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III). For simplicity, the BMI is categorized into 3 natural levels, and this is done for each of 8 age-race-sex domains and 34 counties. We assess the performance of our model using the NHANES III data and simulated examples, which show our model works reasonably well.
