- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400100002Description: Immunization against vaccine-preventable diseases such as shingles and pneumococcal disease play an important role in the overall health and well being of older Canadians. However, vaccine uptake remains low. Using data from The Canadian Health Survey on Seniors – 2019/2020, this study examined the prevalence and factors associated with shingles and pneumococcal vaccination among individuals aged 65 and older living in the community.Release date: 2024-01-17
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202300600002Description: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a major public health concern impacting the lives of many Canadians. Among all TBIs, concussions are the most common. However, to date, the incidence of concussions among the Canadian population has remained unknown. To address this data surveillance gap, this study presents national estimates on the percentage of Canadians aged 12 years or older (excluding those living in the territories) who sustained one or more concussions in 2019.Release date: 2023-06-21
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202300500001Description: Research has identified an association between sleep and obesity in the general population, it is also important to examine this association in the military population. This study presents the prevalence of overweight, obesity, sleep duration and measures of sleep quality in the Canadian Armed Forces. In addition, the independent associations of sleep duration and sleep quality with obesity are examined.Release date: 2023-05-17
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202201200001Description:
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in adults is increasing in Canada and worldwide, due to population aging as well as various social, environmental, and genetic factors. The objective of this study was to examine different individual and neighbourhood characteristics and their independent associations with risk of hospitalization for diabetes (type 1 or type 2) and selected commonly comorbid conditions among the high-risk Canadian adult population.
Release date: 2022-12-21 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X202200600003Description:
Canadian immigrants from countries where the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are endemic may be at higher risk of liver-related disease than Canadian-born residents. This study compared HBV- and HCV-related hospitalizations in Canadian immigrants (arriving from 1980 to 2013) and long-term residents (Canadian-born population and pre-1980 immigrants) and aimed to describe the burden of disease in both groups.
Release date: 2022-06-15 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X202101200002Description:
Reliance on the use of opioids to manage pain has increased over time, as have opioid-related morbidity and deaths. In 2019, Statistics Canada reported descriptive associations between demographic and geographic descriptors, certain mental health disorders, and problematic opioid pain relief medications (OPRM) use among Canada’s OPRM-using population aged 15 years or older. The goal of this analysis is to extend that previous research by using modelling to examine the associations for a broader range of characteristics. It strives to clarify which socioeconomic, health behaviour and psychosocial factors are independently and significantly associated with a greater likelihood of problematic OPRM use after accounting for other descriptors.
Release date: 2022-01-19 - Articles and reports: 82-625-X202100100004Description:
This document provides descriptive results of the muscle and bone density of the tibia. Descriptive results for lower limb muscle power and force are also presented.
Release date: 2021-10-27 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X202101000002Description:
Hypertension is a common condition experienced by close to one-quarter of the adult population in Canada. There is evidence that this condition or the medications used to treat it may lead to hearing health problems. The purpose of this study is to quantify associations between hypertension and hearing health problems—defined as having hearing loss, tinnitus or both conditions for adults aged 19 to 79 years. Data from cycles 3 (2012 to 2013) and 4 (2014 to 2015) of the Canadian Health Measures Survey are used.
Release date: 2021-10-20 - 9. The effect of COVID-19 on physical activity among Canadians and the future risk of cardiovascular disease ArchivedStats in brief: 45-28-0001202100100019Description:
The shift by Canadians to a more physically distanced life resulted in a dramatic reduction in the transmission of COVID-19. However, there are concerns that health behaviours, including physical activity, have consequently changed in ways that will result in an unintended increase in the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes and cancer. This study looks at how many Canadians could develop cardiovascular disease over the next three years because of reduced levels of physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Release date: 2021-06-25 - Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202100100018Description:
Colorectal cancer screening, along with other health care services, was suspended in Canada in the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic response. This pause was deemed necessary to allow health care facilities to establish appropriate infection-control measures to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks and to reserve health system capacity for COVID-19 patients. The current article projects the impact of a three-month suspension of screening for colorectal cancer using a fecal test for average-risk individuals, and compares strategies to minimize the harm from screening interruptions. The projections come from OncoSim, a cancer microsimulation model co-developed by Statistics Canada and the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer.
