The July 2013 online issue of Health Reports, released today, contains two articles.

The first article, "Cause-specific mortality by income adequacy in Canada: A 16-year follow-up study," examines cause-specific mortality rates by income adequacy among Canadian adults. It is based on data from the 1991 to 2006 Canadian census mortality and cancer follow-up study, which followed 2.7 million people aged 25 or older at baseline, 426,979 of whom died during the 16-year period. Age-standardized mortality rates, rate ratios, rate differences and excess mortality were calculated by income adequacy quintile for various causes of death.

The second article, "Acute myocardial infarction hospitalization and treatment: Areas with a high percentage of First Nations identity residents," employs an area-based methodology to study hospitalized acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients who live in areas with relatively high percentages of First Nations identity residents. Within the AMI cohort, procedures received during the hospital admission were identified.
