  • 2. Profiling physical activity patterns among women in Manitoba: What does "moderate" mean? Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X200800010973
    Geography: Province or territory
    Description:

    The Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) provides timely estimates of health information at the sub-provincial level. We explore two main issues that prevented us from using physical activity data from CCHS cycle 3.1 (2005) as part of the Profile of Women's Health in Manitoba. CCHS uses the term 'moderate' to describe physical effort that meets Canadian minimum guidelines, whereas 'moderate' conversely describes sub-minimal levels of activity. A Manitoba survey of physical activity interrogates a wider variety of activities to measure respondents' daily energy expenditure. We found the latter survey better suited to our needs and more likely a better measure of women's daily physical activity and health.

  • 5. Diet quality in Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X200900310914
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Because nutrition recommendations in Canada and the United States are similar, the American Healthy Eating Index can be adapted to the Canadian situation. This article presents an adaptation of that index and outlines results for Canada based on data from the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey - Nutrition.

    Articles and reports: 11-008-X200900110824

  • 8. Obesity on the job Archived
    Articles and reports: 75-001-X200910213225
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Obesity among Canadian workers increased from 12.5% in the mid-1990s to 15.7% in 2005, with men and older workers generally more prone to obesity. While low income is associated with obesity for women, high income is a factor for men. A common factor for both sexes is low education. Marriage is linked to obesity for young workers, while it seems to have a protective effect for older ones. In the workplace, obesity is associated with more frequent absences.

  • 9. Who participates in active leisure? Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-008-X200900110690

Using data from the 1992 and 2005 General Social Surveys on time use, this article looks at the factors influencing active leisure activities of Canadians aged 20 and over. It will also examine which groups are more likely to participate in active leisure in 2005.
