  • 1. The missing middle: Exploring light-intensity physical activity and how it relates to health among adults in Canada
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202600900001
    Description: The health benefits of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) are well established, as are the detrimental impacts of excess sedentary time. Less is known about the benefits of activity undertaken at intensities between sedentary and moderate. Using Actical accelerometer data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (2007 to 2019), this study examines how average daily minutes spent in each movement intensity and average daily steps accumulated in each intensity band varied across population groups by age and sex. It also examines the associations between movement intensities and health indicators.

  • 5. Assessing obesity beyond body mass index: Integrating physiological and functional indicators of impairment in national health surveillance
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202600300001
    Description: Body mass index (BMI) is commonly used to estimate obesity prevalence; however, reliance on BMI alone can lead to an incomplete understanding of obesity’s impact on health. In line with the 2025 recommendations of the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Commission, this study used measured and self-reported data from the 2016 to 2019 Canadian Health Measures Survey to combine population-level measures of excess adiposity with indicators of physiological dysfunction and activity limitation across eight body system domains. Clinical and preclinical obesity were characterized by excess adiposity and progressive obesity-related impairment among Canadian adults.
