Healthy Today, Healthy Tomorrow? Findings from the National Population Health Survey (82-618-X)
This publication presents a series of research articles based on longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey Household Component and addresses important health issues. It also provides links to tables, other research articles and information about the survey.
By following the same individuals every two years since 1994/1995, this survey has become a key source of health information on how lifestyle, family and economic factors affect the population's health over time.
The longitudinal nature of the articles and health data that are presented is what makes this publication original.
