June 2011 online edition

The June 2011 online issue of Health Reports, released today, contains two articles.

The article, "Cognitive performance of Canadian seniors", uses data from the 2009 Canadian Community Health Survey: Healthy Aging Cognition component to examine correlates of low performance on four cognitive tasks among Canadians aged 65 or older who were living in private dwellings and who did not have Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Low performance on these four cognitive tasks was analyzed in relation to socio-demographic characteristics and measures of health status and well-being.

The article, "Primary mental health care visits in self-reported data versus provincial administrative records", links self-reported data from the 2002 Canadian Community Health Survey: Mental Health and Well-being with administrative records from the Medical Services Plan of British Columbia to compare the number of mental health visits recorded in each source of data.
