Release date: 2009-02-18 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X200800110532Geography: CanadaDescription: This article examines whether consultations with health care providers, not having a regular doctor, receipt of preventive screening tests, and unmet health care needs vary by sexual identity for Canadians aged 18 to 59. Results are based on the Canadian Community Health Survey, combined 2003 and 2005 data.Release date: 2008-03-19
- Articles and reports: 11F0019M2004228Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study examines the relationship between individuals' health status and the socio-economic composition of the neighbourhoods in which they live. It combines individual microdata from Statistics Canada's 1996-97 National Population Health Survey (NPHS) with neighbourhood-level characteristics estimated from the 1996 Census of Canada.
Release date: 2004-09-27 - 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 - 8. Children who become active ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-S20030006681Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article focuses on conditions linked to children's becoming physically active. A variety of influences are considered, including time spent watching TV as well as hours of physical education classes offered at school.
Release date: 2003-10-31 - 9. Oral contraceptive use ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19990045065Geography: CanadaDescription:
Oral contraceptive users - many of whom smoke heavily - tend to be young, unmarried, sexually active women who are relatively well-educated and who have prescription drug insurance coverage.
Release date: 2000-05-29 - 10. Cancer incidence and mortality, 1997 ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19960043024Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 1997, there will be an estimated 130,800 new cases of cancer and 60,700 deaths from the disease, an increase of one third and one quarter, respectively, over 1987. These increases are due mainly to the growth and aging of the population. (All figures exclude non-melanoma skin cancer.) In 1997, three types of cancer will account for at least half of all new cases in men and women: prostate, lung and colorectal cancer for men; breast, lung and colorectal cancer for women. Lung cancer will be the leading cause of cancer death in 1997, resulting in one-third of cancer deaths for men and almost one-quarter of cancer deaths for women. Among women, overall trends in age-standardized rates of cancer incidence and mortality have remained relatively stable since 1985, as large increases in the rate of lung cancer have been offset by declining or stable rates for most other forms. Among men, the overall incidence rate is rising slightly as a result of the sharp increase in the incidence of prostate cancer. The mortality rate for men peaked in 1988 and has since declined, because of decreases in the rates for lung, colorectal and some other cancers. This article presents information on trends since the mid-1980s in cancer incidence and mortality, adapted from Canadian Cancer Statistics 1987.
