The March 2013 online issue of Health Reports, released today, contains two articles.
The first article, "Nutritional risk among older Canadians," presents the first population-level assessment of nutritional risk based on a large national sample representative of Canadian householders aged 65 or older. Data from the 2008/2009 Canadian Community Health Survey — Healthy Aging were used to estimate the prevalence of nutritional risk by selected characteristics.

The second article, "Trajectories of psychological distress among Canadian adults who experienced parental addiction in childhood," compares trajectories of psychological distress among a nationally representative sample of Canadians aged 18 to 74 who did and did not experience parental addiction in childhood. It was hypothesized that those exposed to parental addiction would have higher levels of psychological distress, particularly in young adulthood. Data are from the National Population Health Survey longitudinal file (1994/1995 to 2010/2011).
