This article looks briefly at changes in health in the 20th century, with special focus on the concerns of Canadians in childhood, mid-life and old age.
Release date: 2000-12-12 - 2. Teenage pregnancy ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20000015299Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines trends in teenage pregnancy in Canada, focussing on induced abortions, live births and fetal loss among women aged 15 to 19 in 1997.
Release date: 2000-10-20 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X20000015300Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines the extent of proxy reporting in the Natiional Population Health (NPHS). It also explores associations between proxy reporting status and the prevalence of selected health problems, and investigates the relationship between changes in proxy reporting status and two-year incidence of health problems.
Release date: 2000-10-20 - 4. Chronic back problems among workers ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20000015301Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines associations between selected work- and non-work-related factors and the incidence of chronic back problems over the next two years.
Release date: 2000-10-20 - 5. Household spending on health care ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20000015302Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines changes in household spending on health care between 1978 and 1998. It also provides a detailed look at household spending on health care in 1998.
Release date: 2000-10-20 - 6. Dependence-free life expectancy in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20000025167Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article uses the measure of dependence-free life expectancy to ask whether the additional years of life gained over the last century are being lived in good health.
Release date: 2000-09-12 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X19990045064Geography: CanadaDescription:
Lower mortality rates overall, and for cardiovascular disease in particular, as well as lower odds of heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis and activity limitation, suggest that recent cohorts are healthier than previous cohorts.
Release date: 2000-05-29 - 8. Oral contraceptive use ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19990045065Geography: CanadaDescription:
Oral contraceptive users - many of whom smoke heavily - tend to be young, unmarried, sexually active women who are relatively well-educated and who have prescription drug insurance coverage.
Release date: 2000-05-29 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X19990045067Geography: CanadaDescription:
Although health status is strongly associated with residence in a long-term health care facility, the absence of a spouse, low income, low education, and advanced age are also important factors.
Release date: 2000-05-29 - 10. Life expectancy [1996] ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19990034931Description:
Life expectancy in Canada is excellent -among the highest in the world.
Over 90% of Canada's 136 health regions, containing about 99% of the total population, have life expectancy values within 2.8 years of the overall Canada value.
The health regions with the lowest life expectancies tend to be in remote regions or northern parts of certain provinces and have significant Aboriginal populations. The lower life expectancies are not associated with any one specific cause; rather, the mortality rates in these regions are higher for most causes of death.
Mortality patterns are similar for men and women in the low life expectancy health regions.
Most health regions with higher life expectancy are in and west of Ontario. Mortality rates are generally at least 10% lower for all causes than the Canadian average.
Consistent with other measures of the health of the population, there is an association with socioeconomic factors: life expectancy increases as the rate of unemployment decreases and the level of education increases.
