This chart shows three vertical bar clusters for each of the following age groups: 25 to 54 years, 55 to 64 years, and 65 years and over. Each cluster consists of three vertical bars that show the proportion of Métis adults 25 years of age or older who self-rated their health as being 'excellent or very good', 'good', or 'fair or poor'. The chart shows that the likelihood of reporting 'excellent or very good' health decreased with age among off reserve Métis adults. While over half (58%) of Métis 25 to 54 years reported 'excellent or very good' health, only 40% of those 55 to 64, and 25% of those aged 65 and over did so. Conversely, higher percentages of those in the older age groups reported that their health was 'fair or poor.'
