† CVD includes ischemic heart disease, heart failure and stroke. ‡ CRD includes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. § This estimate differs from that in the Report "How Healthy are Canadians?" as the 2016 Report used CCDSS data (i.e., annual use of health services for mood and/or anxiety disorders) while the CCDI used CCHS data (i.e., self-reported, diagnosed mood and/or anxiety disorders). ** The incidence rate (new cases over a year) based on the CCDSS data may indicate a true change in population health status, but may also reflect changes in data collection methods, coding/ classification systems, clinical practices, billing methods, etc.
Introduction: Our objective was to examine variables associated with well-being as measured by high self-rated mental health (SRMH) and life satisfaction (LS), among Canadian adults (aged 18+) living with a mood and/or an anxiety disorder.
The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) has modernized its approach to physical activity surveillance by broadening its scope to include sedentary behaviour and sleep. The first step was to develop a conceptual framework which covers the full spectrum of physical movement from moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) and light intensity physical activity (LPA) to sedentary behaviour and sleep. The framework accounts for the environments in which these behaviours take place (home, work/school, transportation, and community), and applies a socioecological approach to incorporate individual factors and broader built, social, and societal environmental indicators. A visual model of the conceptual framework was created to aid dissemination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
