Data profile: Expanding the research potential of the Canadian Health Measures Survey using paired respondent data

by Kellie Langlois, Rachel C. Colley, Didier Garriguet, Tracey Bushnik and Anne Mather

Childhood is an important developmental period for establishing healthy lifestyle behaviours. The majority of Canadian children are not meeting the recommended physical activity levels for good health; a low percentage of them meet the screen time recommendations and most consume too much sugar and ultra-processed foods. As a result, children are experiencing unprecedented rates of overweight and obesity, as well as many of the diseases associated with excess weight, including type II diabetes and hypertension.

Acute-care hospitalizations among First Nations people, Inuit and Métis: Results from the 2006 and 2011 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohorts

by Evelyne Bougie

In Canada, there are continuing disparities in health outcomes between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations. The reasons behind these disparities are complex. It is recognized that the ongoing effects of colonization, racism and intergenerational trauma on Indigenous people, as well as their greater disadvantage in many of the social determinants of health relative to the non-Indigenous population, have contributed to their poorer health outcomes.
