  • 4. The local restaurant environment in relation to eating out and sugary drink intake among Canadian children and youth
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202300800001
    Description: Accessibility of food retail in communities may play a role in shaping the food choices of local residents. Canadian youth are frequent patrons of fast-food and other restaurant types, such as full-service restaurants and cafés. Studies linking local exposure to various restaurant types with diet-related behaviours and health outcomes have, to date, revealed mixed results. The current study uses a recently developed high-quality pan-Canadian dataset of food retail measures and a large population-based sample of Canadian children and youth to examine links between the local restaurant environment and the frequency of eating food from restaurants and intake of sugary drinks.

    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202200900002
    Description:

    National health surveys and vital statistics registries are the cornerstones of surveillance, monitoring and policy development in most developed countries. This cohort profile describes the linkage of the Canadian Community Health Survey - Nutrition (2004) to the Canadian Vital Statistics - Death Database (2011). Further, the authors demonstrate how these data can be used in terms of potential analysis strategies, and discuss their strengths and limitations-considerations that could apply to any national nutrition survey worldwide.

  • 6. A pan-Canadian dataset of neighbourhood retail food environment measures using Statistics Canada's Business Register

It is defined by geographic access to different types of retail food sources, including restaurants and food stores. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development and validation of the Canadian Food Environment Dataset (Can-FED): a pan-Canadian dataset of retail food environment measures at the dissemination area (DA) level using food outlet data from the 2018 Statistics Canada Business Register.

  • 7. Eating away from home in Canada: Impact on dietary intake
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202100800003
    Description:

    Little empirical attention has been paid to patterns of Canadians' consumption of food away from home (FAFH) before the pandemic. According to a 2004 national-level dietary survey, one-quarter of Canadians reported having eaten something from a fast-food outlet on the previous day. More recent data on Canadians' FAFH consumption would serve as a valuable benchmark to estimate any post-pandemic changes in Canadians' dietary habits. This study used 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey-Nutrition, the most recent national-level dietary data available, to characterize patterns of FAFH consumption in a restaurant setting and to assess differences in the dietary intake profile on a day when FAFH was consumed or not consumed.
