Release date: 2005-11-16 - Journals and periodicals: 82-580-XGeography: CanadaDescription:
This study examines the rate of death and cancer incidence in Canadian Gulf and Kuwait War military personnel and compares them to those of other Canadian military personnel of the same era and to members of the general population.
Release date: 2005-11-03 - Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 82-619-M2005002Description:
This document examines the functional limitations-physical, emotional and social-related to the most common types of diabetes and the conditions that result from the disease. These functional limitations are described and classified using the Classification and Measurement System of Functional Health (CLAMES).
These descriptions and classifications are the first step in a new approach to measuring the health of Canadians that examines what factors are adversely affecting population health and how to address them. This document also provides health professionals, advocacy groups, and individual Canadians with an overview of how living with diabetes affects day-to-day functioning.
Release date: 2005-09-30 - 6. Health State Descriptions for Canadians: Cancers ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 82-619-M2005001Description:
This document examines the functional limitations - physical, emotional and social -experienced by patients at the time of diagnosis of cancer and as they undergo various treatments, remission, and palliative and terminal care. These functional limitations are described and classified using the Classification and Measurement System of Functional Health (CLAMES).

Release date: 2005-08-16 - 7. Obesity: A growing Issue ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-005-X20050018438Geography: CanadaDescription:
This summary provides highlights of an analysis that used eight years of longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey, 1994/95 to 2002/03. The analysis was part of an Internet publication Healthy Today, Healthy Tomorrow? Findings from the National Population Health Survey, Catalogue no. 82-618-MWE.
The analysis found that once people are overweight, they are more like to pack on even more weight than to take it off.
Release date: 2005-08-05 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X20050018089Description:
We use hierarchical Bayesian models to analyze body mass index (BMI) data of children and adolescents with nonignorable nonresponse from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III). Our objective is to predict the finite population mean BMI and the proportion of respondents for domains formed by age, race and sex (covariates in the regression models) in each of thirty five large counties, accounting for the nonrespondents. Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are used to fit the models (two selection and two pattern mixture) to the NHANES III BMI data. Using a deviance measure and a cross-validation study, we show that the nonignorable selection model is the best among the four models. We also show that inference about BMI is not too sensitive to the model choice. An improvement is obtained by including a spline regression into the selection model to reflect changes in the relationship between BMI and age.

- 1. Cancer survival statistics (1992 to 1997) ArchivedTable: 84-601-X20050017762Description:
The Cancer Survival Statistics tables provide site-specific five-year observed and relative survival estimates for cases diagnosed from 1992 onwards. In addition to age-specific and age-standardized national (excl. Quebec) estimates, all ages (15 to 99 years) and age-standardized provincial estimates are available.
Release date: 2005-01-25 - 2. Cancer incidence in Canada (1992-2003) ArchivedTable: 84-601-X20050018075Description:
The annual Cancer Incidence in Canada tables provide information on the number of new cases and rates of cancer tumours and patients from 1992 onwards by five-year age-groups and sex for all Canadian provinces and territories as well as information on the primary ICD-O-3 sites of cancer.
Release date: 2005-01-25 - 3. Cancer Statistics ArchivedTable: 84-601-XGeography: Province or territoryDescription:
This product presents current and historical cancer incidence and cancer survival statistics in Canada, as well as links to the Cancer Record and Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) procedures manuals.
The Annual Cancer Incidence in Canada tables provide information on the number of new cases and the rates of both cancer tumours and patients from 1992 onwards, by five-year age-groups and sex for all Canadian provinces and territories.
The Cancer Survival Statistics tables provide site-specific five-year observed and relative survival estimates for cases diagnosed from 1992 onwards. In addition to age-specific and age-standardized national (excl. Quebec) estimates, all ages (15 to 99 years) and age-standardized provincial estimates are available.
The Cancer Record is a newsletter for cancer registries in Canada. Its purpose is to improve the quality and consistency of data submitted to the CCR.
The compendium of Canadian Cancer Registry procedures manuals set out the rules for reporting cancer data to the CCR for all provincial and territorial cancer registries.
Links are also provided to other Statistics Canada data on cancer. The health regions cancer rates are part of the Health Indicators. The Comparable Health Indicators present information on health status and health system performance, including cancer incidence age-standardized cancer.
