Note(s):
The Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) collects data on a multi-year cycle; the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) collects data yearly. Data from the CHMS are plotted in the middle of the time period during which it was collected. That is CHMS data collected from 2007 to 2009 are plotted at 2008, and data collected from 2009 to 2011 are plotted at 2010. This chart presents statistics for the Canadian population aged 18 to 79 only. This is to enable comparison with the measured figures from the CHMS which does not collect data on individuals over the age of 79.
