Description:

Health Reports is a quarterly journal produced by the Health Statistics Division at Statistics Canada. Comprehensive articles examine the health status of the population and Canada's health care system. It is designed for a broad audience that includes health professionals, researchers, policy-makers, educators, and students. The journal publishes articles of wide interest that contain original and timely analyses of health and vital statistics data. The sources are typically national or provincial/territorial administrative data bases or surveys. Research articles present in-depth analysis and undergo anonymous peer review. New articles are published electronically each month and appear in print form, quarterly. You can order individual print issues, or register a one-year subscription for future releases. Beginning with the March 2008 issue, Statistics Canada increased the print issue price from $22.00 to $24.00, and increased the subscription price from $63.00 to $68.00 (applicable shipping and tax extra). Subscribers to the print edition of Health Reports will also receive the annual supplement entitled How Healthy Are Canadians.

Description:

The December 2009 print edition of Health Reports contains seven articles, all of which have appeared previously in the free online edition:
  • Area-based indicators are commonly used to measure and track health outcomes by socio-economic group. This is largely because of the absence of information about individuals in health health administrative databases. "A comparison of individual and area-based socio-economic data for monitoring social inequalities in health" compares area-based and individual indicators.
  • "Mortality of Métis Canadian and Registered Indian adults: An 11-year follow-up study" describes and contrasts mortality patterns among Métis and Registered Indian adults with those of the population of Canada as a whole.
  • In the study "Smokers' use of acute care hospitals: A prospective study," data from the 2000/2001 Canadian Community Health Survey were linked to the Hospital Person-Oriented Information Database, permitting prospective measures of hospital use by smoking status and age.
  • "Income disparities in health-adjusted life expectancy for Canadian adults, 1991 to 2001" profiles differences in health-adjusted life expectancy across income categories for a representative sample of the Canadian population. Mortality data were obtained from the 1991-2001 Canadian census mortality follow-up study, which linked a 15% sample of the 1991 adult non-institutional population with 11 years of death records from the Canadian Mortality Data Base.
  • "Social class, gender, and time use: Implications for the social determinants of body weight?" examines time-use patterns by indicators of socio-economic position, and considers the implications of variations in time use for the social gradient in weight reported in other studies. The data are from the 1986 and 2005 General Social Survey, which focused on time use.
  • "Diet composition and obesity among Canadian adults" examines the association between obesity and the relative percentages of fats, carbohydrates, protein and fibre in the diets of Canadians. The data are from the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey - Nutrition.
  • "Risk factors and chronic conditions among Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations" compares several major risk factors and chronic conditions in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations not living on reserves in the North (Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut) and in southern Canada at two time points. The data are from cycle 1.1 (2000/2001) and cycle 3.1 (2005/2006) of the Canadian Community Health Survey.
