Note(s):
The results for the household population aged 14 to 19 are too unreliable to be published. Therefore this table presents data on the total household population aged 20 to 59, except those meeting the exclusion criteria (see the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) Data User Guide: Cycle 2).
