- 1. Dependence-free life expectancy in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20000025167Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article uses the measure of dependence-free life expectancy to ask whether the additional years of life gained over the last century are being lived in good health.
Release date: 2000-09-12 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X19990045064Geography: CanadaDescription:
Lower mortality rates overall, and for cardiovascular disease in particular, as well as lower odds of heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis and activity limitation, suggest that recent cohorts are healthier than previous cohorts.
Release date: 2000-05-29 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X19990045067Geography: CanadaDescription:
Although health status is strongly associated with residence in a long-term health care facility, the absence of a spouse, low income, low education, and advanced age are also important factors.
Release date: 2000-05-29 - 4. Health care services: recent trends ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19990034938Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 1998/99, Canadians with low incomes were more likely than those with higher incomes to be heavy users of physician services, to visit emergency departments, to be admitted to hospital, to take multiple medications, and to require home care services.
Despite an increase in coverage in most provinces for prescription drug and dental insurance, significant differences in use of these services remain. Youth, older adults and Canadians with low incomes are less likely to have insurance coverage for dental care and prescription drugs.
The percentage of Canadians who said they had health care needs that were not met increased from 4% in 1994/95 (1.1 million people) to 6% in 1998/99 (1.5 million people).
The likelihood of going to hospital increases with age. It also increases with having a lower income, having less than a secondary level of education, believing oneself to be in poor health, and being a smoker, physically inactive, and overweight.
The risk of hospitalization is similar for both female smokers and male smokers. This represents an important change from past studies, which showed smaller relative risks of hospitalization for female smokers than for male smokers.
Release date: 2000-03-31 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X19990015646Geography: CanadaDescription:
The current economic context obliges all partners of health-care systems, whether public or private, to identify those factors that determine the use of health-care services. To increase our understanding of the phenomena that underlie these relationships, Statistics Canada and the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy and Evaluation have established a new database. For a representative sample of the province of Manitoba, cross-sectional micro-data on the level of health of individuals and on their socioeconomic characteristics, and detailed longitudinal data on the use of health-care services have been linked. In this presentation, we will discuss the general context of the linkage of records from various organizations, the protection of privacy and confidentiality. We will also present results of studies which should not have been performed in the absence of the linked database.
