This chart shows three vertical bar clusters for each of the following age groups: 25 to 54 years; 55 to 64 years; and 65 years and over. Each cluster consists of three vertical bars that show total (or both sexes), males, and females. The chart shows that in 2001, of the off-reserve Aboriginal population, those in the older age groups were more likely to have had contact with a family doctor or general practitioner. While 72% of the off-reserve Aboriginal population aged 25 to 54 reported that they had seen or talked on the telephone with a family doctor about their physical, emotional or mental health in the past 12 months, 86% of Aboriginal seniors 65 years and over did so. Irrespective of the age group women were more likely than men to have seen a family doctor or general practitioner in the past 12 months.
