Using longitudinal data from Statistics Canada's National Population Health Survey (NPHS), this article assesses the health impact of the immigration process, as individuals adjust to life in Canada, by comparing changes in immigrants' self-perceived health status, health care use, and health-related behaviours with those of the Canadian-born population. Information was collected from the same individuals over an eight-year period from 1994-1995 to 2002-2003.

This summary provides highlights of an analysis that used eight years of longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey, 1994/95 to 2002/03. The analysis was part of an Internet publication Healthy Today, Healthy Tomorrow? Findings from the National Population Health Survey, Catalogue no. 82-618-MWE.
The analysis found that recent immigrants from non-European countries are twice as likely as the Canadian-born to experience deterioration in their health.
Release date: 2005-08-05 - 5. Healthy Aging ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-618-M2005004Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article identifies the determinants of healthy aging between 1994-1995 and 2002-2003 among middle-aged adults and seniors. A broad range of health and mortality determinants are evaluated: demographic and socio-economic characteristics (age, sex, living arrangements, education, household income, rural/urban residence), health related behaviours (smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity in leisure time, weight), psycho-social factors (stress, sense of coherence, social support), chronic conditions and frequency of medical consultations.
Release date: 2005-05-09 - 6. Obesity: A Growing Issue ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-618-M2005003Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines weight gain over the past decade for Canadians who were aged between 20 and 56 years old in 1994-1995. Using the longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey, it looks at the relationship between becoming obese and factors such as sex, household income, marital status, smoking, drinking and the level of physical activity. This article is part of an Internet publication that provides links to tables, other research articles and information about the National Population Health Survey.
Release date: 2005-04-07 - 7. Dynamics of Immigrants' Health in Canada: Evidence from the National Population Health Survey ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-618-M2005002Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article compares the changes in immigrants' health status over the last decade with that of the Canadian-born population. Based on longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey, the article also examines risk factors such as daily cigarette smoking, level of physical activity during leisure time and weight gain, to assess health changes while taking into account some socio-economic factors. This article is part of an Internet publication that provides links to tables, other research articles and information about the National Population Health Survey.
