Health conditions

Note: BMI is calculated from weight and height collected from respondents. In Cycle 3.1 of the Canadian Community Health Survey, both self-reported and measured methods were used. Results obtained from comparing these two methods have shown that, for adolescents aged 12 to 17, reported height tends to be overestimated, and reported weight underestimated.
