  • 1. 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.

  • 2. Daily accelerometer-measured physical activity patterns and associations with cardiometabolic health among Canadian working adults
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202300300002
    Description: Previous studies examining the cardiometabolic risks associated with physical activity (PA) in workers have predominantly used self-reported measures. Little is known about workers’ distinct daily PA patterns and whether these are linked with cardiometabolic risks. This study examined associations between patterns of workers’ accelerometer-measured daily PA and four markers of cardiometabolic health. Furthermore, the study examined similarities and differences between younger compared to middle-aged and older workers, and between men and women, to understand whether these groups are associated with different cardiometabolic risks.

  • 4. Health care access and use among male and female Canadian Armed Forces veterans Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202100300002
    Description: Veterans are more likely than other Canadians to have chronic health conditions, making access to health care an important issue. This paper examines access and use among veterans compared with other Canadians.

    Description:

    This study is the first in Canada to report laboratory-confirmed prevalence estimates for Chlamydia trachomatis and herpes simplex virus type 2 using a nationally representative sample. The analysis is based on physical measures data collected as part of the 2009 to 2011 Canadian Health Measures Survey.

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides four options:

  • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
  • By most popular – gives priority to results that are most frequently selected by users, followed by the most recent.
  • By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
  • By title – sorts results alphabetically.
