| Notes: Reference population (person-years at risk) for age standardization was taken from the Aboriginal age distribution (5-year age groups). Métis were defined based on the ancestry responses (see "Derivation of Métis within the cohort"). A total of 2,200 cohort members (800 men and 1,300 women) were classified both Métis and Registered Indians. Source: 1991 to 2001 Canadian census mortality follow-up study. |
