- Articles and reports: 11-522-X20040018745Description:
The testing of questionnaires with specialized populations such as Aboriginal people, homosexuals, bisexuals, children, victims of abuse brings challenges: identifying respondents, testing methodology, location of testing, respondent rapport and trust.
Release date: 2005-10-27 - 2. Canadian Community Health Survey Profiles ArchivedTable: 82-576-XDescription:
The Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) Profiles present a series of variables by different geographies, such as health regions, census metropolitan areas and rural/urban groups. Also available are profiles of linguistic minorities, Aboriginals and immigrants. The data provide information on the following variables: self-rated health, self-esteem, body mass index, arthritis/rheumatism, diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure, pain or discomfort, risk of depression, injuries, functional health, two-week disability days, activity limitation, smoking, frequency of heavy drinking, leisure time activities, fruit and vegetable consumption, decision latitude at work, social support, stress, exposure to second-hand smoke, influenza immunization, mammogram screenings, Pap tests, contact with health care providers, contact with dental professionals, contact with medical doctors, and contact with professionals for mental health. Data were collected from over 130,000 respondents, aged 12 or older, residing in households across all provinces and territories.
Release date: 2005-06-30 - 3. Healthy Aging ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-618-M2005004Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article identifies the determinants of healthy aging between 1994-1995 and 2002-2003 among middle-aged adults and seniors. A broad range of health and mortality determinants are evaluated: demographic and socio-economic characteristics (age, sex, living arrangements, education, household income, rural/urban residence), health related behaviours (smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity in leisure time, weight), psycho-social factors (stress, sense of coherence, social support), chronic conditions and frequency of medical consultations.
Release date: 2005-05-09 - 4. Intergenerational Impact of Immigrants' Selection and Assimilation on Health Outcomes of Children ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M2005247Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study undertakes three comparisons using Cycle 2 (1996-97) data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY) in Canada. First, the study compares the health outcomes of children of the Native-born Canadian (NBC) group with those of the immigrant group in general. Differences are also investigated within the three immigrant sub-groups: the American immigrant group, the European immigrant group and Asian immigrant group. Second, this study tests the hypothesis that the children of any immigrant group in Canada would have a higher level of health outcomes for the same level of resources. Third, the study examines the association of time of residency of immigrants in different groups and the health outcomes of their children. An immigrant family is defined as one in which at least one of the parents is foreign-born. Health outcomes are measured by the PMK's (person most knowledgeable about the child) assessment of the child's health. Ordered logit models are employed for estimation. The children selected for analysis are 4 to 13 years of age.
The NLSCY data suggest that the health outcomes of children in the immigrant families in general are similar to that in the NBC group. However, the health outcomes of the Asian immigrant group are slightly lower and those of the American immigrant group are markedly better. Except for the American immigrant group, there is evidence that the children of any other immigrant group would have lower health status for the same level of resources. Decomposition results indicate that a higher level of observable and unobservable resources is responsible for markedly better outcomes for the American immigrant group; while a lower level of observable and unobservable resources is responsible for the lower level of outcomes for the Asian immigrant group. On the other hand, health outcomes are higher for the European immigrant group than for the NBC group when variation in resources is considered, while lower when variation in productivity coefficients is examined. Finally, there is statistical evidence that the health status of children of immigrant families would improve with the time of residency of immigrant parents, if it were lower initially. The findings of the study indicate that present health outcomes of children in the immigrant families, on average, are not a great concern. However, those of the Asian immigrant group may be a concern.
Release date: 2005-04-15 - 5. Obesity: A Growing Issue ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-618-M2005003Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines weight gain over the past decade for Canadians who were aged between 20 and 56 years old in 1994-1995. Using the longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey, it looks at the relationship between becoming obese and factors such as sex, household income, marital status, smoking, drinking and the level of physical activity. This article is part of an Internet publication that provides links to tables, other research articles and information about the National Population Health Survey.
Release date: 2005-04-07 - 6. Collaboration with external researchers ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-005-X20040037793Geography: CanadaDescription:
The summaries below highlight several papers by Health Analysis and Measurement Group and external collaborators that have appeared in peer-reviewed journals over the past few months. One of these analyses used national health survey data; two used linked birth and infant death files; and one used two national health surveys and a survey by university researchers.
Release date: 2005-03-31 - 7. Dynamics of Immigrants' Health in Canada: Evidence from the National Population Health Survey ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-618-M2005002Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article compares the changes in immigrants' health status over the last decade with that of the Canadian-born population. Based on longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey, the article also examines risk factors such as daily cigarette smoking, level of physical activity during leisure time and weight gain, to assess health changes while taking into account some socio-economic factors. This article is part of an Internet publication that provides links to tables, other research articles and information about the National Population Health Survey.
Release date: 2005-02-23 - 8. Healthy living among seniors ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-S20050009086Geography: CanadaDescription:
Healthy living among seniors explores good health in relation to health behaviours and psychosocial factors. The components of good health are presented for the senior population by age group and by sex. The article looks at the importance of health behaviours such as exercise, alcohol consumption, diet and smoking, as well stress and community belonging. The effect of healthy behaviours over time is also assessed.
Release date: 2005-02-09 - 9. Predictors of death in seniors ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-S20050009090Geography: CanadaDescription:
Predictors of death in seniors updates information on the leading cause of death for people aged 65 or older, and examines factors associated with death in seniors over an eight-year period. The analysis focuses on psychosocial factors (psychological distress, financial and family stress) in relation to mortality.
