1. Screens Replaced Play, and Our Bodies Noticed
Stats in brief: 45-20-00032025008
Description: Has Canada become a sedentary nation? Health data have never been more accessible. We have smart watches to count our steps, notifications about our screen times and apps to track our daily diets. Despite the futuristic tech, researchers are growing concerned. And they’re especially concerned about young Canadians. Today we sat down with Rachel Colley, a senior health researcher at StatCan for a deep dive into Canada’s obesity, physical activity and screen time trends. And the new data from the Canadian Health Measures survey may surprise you.

2. Missing teeth, mortality, and hospitalization: A population-based cohort analysis from the Canadian Health Measures Survey and linked databases
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202501000001
Description: Missing teeth serves as a cumulative indicator of lifelong oral health deterioration, primarily resulting from dental caries and periodontitis, though trauma and other factors may also contribute to this outcome. The association between oral health and general health is not yet fully understood. This study examines the association between missing teeth, mortality, and hospitalization outcomes.

3. Metabolic syndrome in Canadian adults, 2007 to 2019
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500900001
Description: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clustering of multiple risk factors, including abdominal obesity (or high waist circumference), elevated triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high fasting blood glucose, and high blood pressure. MetS is an important contributor to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Research indicates that MetS doubles the risk of cardiovascular disease and increases the risk of diabetes fivefold. Using the most recent nationally representative data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey, this study provides an updated prevalence of MetS and its components among Canadian adults aged 18 to 79 years by age group and sex.

4. Metabolic health and body mass index phenotypes in adults
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500900002
Description: To better understand the interplay between adiposity and metabolic health, joint phenotypes have been used to categorize people as being metabolically healthy or metabolically unhealthy while having a body mass index indicative of obesity, overweight, or normal weight. This study examines the prevalence of these phenotypes in adults, the factors associated with them, and their relationship with adverse health outcomes.

5. Oral contraceptive use in Canada
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500600002
Description: Oral contraceptives (OCs) have been legally available in Canada since 1969. OCs remain the most common method of reversible contraception in Canada and are among the most commonly used medications by reproductive-aged women in Canada. Using data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey, this study examines the prevalence of, and factors associated with, OC use among non-pregnant, reproductive-aged (15 to 49) women in Canada by sociodemographic characteristics and other factors.

6. Health of Canadians
Table: 82-570-X
Geography: Province or territory
Description: The Health of Canadians report brings together important health data, both for the population overall and for specific groups, to provide a comprehensive portrait of population health and to shed light on health disparities. It includes key statistics on population health such as health outcomes (e.g., chronic conditions), health behaviours (e.g., exercise, nutrition), access to health care (e.g., unmet health care needs) and determinants of health (e.g., age, income).
The Health of Canadians report is meant to be used by our federal, provincial and territorial partners, as well as health professionals, researchers, and policymakers across the country to inform policies and plans, leading to better, more equitable health outcomes for all Canadians.
Release date: 2025-03-05
7. The health consequences of obesity history and weight fluctuations in adulthood
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500200002
Description: The prevalence of Canadian adults with obesity has been steadily increasing over the past four decades. Nine percent of Canadian adults had obesity in 1981, 27.2% had obesity in 2018 and the most recent estimates from 2022 indicate that 30% of Canadian adults have obesity. The purpose of this study is to describe the obesity change pattern among Canadian adults aged 28 to 79 years and to examine associations between obesity history and health outcomes.
