  • Articles and reports: 82-003-X20050039277
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    More than a quarter - 26% - of 2- to 17-year-olds were overweight or obese in 2004. Low consumption of vegetables and fruit was associated with excess weight among this age group. As screen time (watching TV, playing video games, using a computer) increased, so did the likelihood that young people would be overweight/obese.

    Description:

    By 2002/03, about a quarter of people who were 20 to 56 years old and overweight in 1994/95 had become obese. Among overweight men, the risk of obesity was high for those who were younger, smokers, or had an activity restriction. For overweight women, physical activity was protective against becoming obese.

  • 1,313. Trends in adult obesity Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X20050039279
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    From 1978/79 to 1986-92, the prevalence of obesity among adults was virtually unchanged, but by 2004, the proportion who were obese had increased, particularly among men.

    The increase in obesity was particularly sharp among men who were former smokers.

    In 1986-92, people in lower-middle, upper-middle and high income households were less likely than those in the lowest income households to be obese; by 2004, the difference had disappeared among men, and among women, persisted only for those in the highest income group.

  • Articles and reports: 91-209-X20030009188
    Geography: Canada
    Description: The visible minority population is growing rapidly in Canada and accounts for an increasing proportion of the birth rate. How do the various visible minority groups in Canada's population differ from one another with respect to fertility? The study shows that fertility is higher for visible minority women as a group than for the rest of the population, that fertility varies appreciably from one visible minority group to another, and that removing the effects of the groups' socio-economic characteristics, including religious denomination, does not eliminate fertility differentials.

  • Articles and reports: 11-008-X20060019182
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This paper uses the 2003 General Social Survey (GSS) to examine the extent to which Canadians aged 15 and over feel a sense of mastery, or responsibility for what happens to them in life. A mastery scale, comprised of seven indicators measuring such elements as the respondent's perceived control over things that happen in life, problem solving capability, feelings of helplessness and the ability to accomplish goals, was used in the analysis. A statistical model was also designed to examine the influence of a number of socio-demographic, family, economic, community and well-being characteristics on the respondent's sense of personal control.

    Description:

    Some 720,000 work absences of two weeks or longer due to illness or disability were reported in 2003, 200,000 of which were work-related.

    Description:

    This article presents diabetes prevalence by age, sex and province or territory for the population aged 12 and over, using data from the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey. The article also examines questions related to specific health care received by individuals who have been diagnosed with diabetes. These questions are part of a module introduced in the survey to respond to a lack of data in regards to detailed information on health care required to the prevention of serious complications resulting from diabetes. The module was offered as optional content to health regions from across Canada. In the 2005 Cycle, health regions from Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Ontario and Manitoba all selected the diabetic care module. Analysis on diabetic care only includes respondents aged 18 and over.
