Subject: Statistics Canada report - Health of Canada's
Communities
You can see the Stats Can news release and entire report on the Health of
Canada's Communities at:
http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/020704/d020704b.htm
This report is the first in a series of articles using new data from the
2000/01 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) to examine various aspects
of the health of Canadians.
For the first time, it is possible to make nationwide comparisons of
estimates of health outcomes and risk factors at the community or health
region level, because of the large sample size of the CCHS.
Risk factors were based on CCHS data. Life expectancy and disability-free
life expectancy estimates were based on data from the Canadian Vital
Statistics Database and the 1996 Census.
Life expectancy is the number of years a person is expected to live from the
day he or she is born. Disability-free life expectancy estimates the number
of years that a person can expect to live without activity limitation, and
outside of a health care institution.
Future articles, to be released roughly every three weeks, will explore
topics such as the influence of regional social environment on the
self-rated health of Canadians, Aboriginal Canadians living off-reserve and
immigrants.
