Mortality: Life and Health Expectancy of Canadian Women
|
|
Although mortality and life expectancy have been well described in the Canadian population, there is a paucity of information concerning the sex and gender gaps in mortality and life expectancy, in particular the factors contributing to the sex gaps observed, and how gender-relevant determinants affect the mortality of subgroups of Canadian women. Since many factors affecting mortality (such as the effect of hormonal, psychological or environmental factors) are beyond the scope of this chapter, key descriptive population health measures have been selected and are presented here for the purpose of women's health surveillance.

Morbidity Experiences and Disability Among Canadian Women
|
|
This chapter uses three types of indicators hospital morbidity (separations and length of stay), prevalence of chronic conditions, and disability to measure morbidity. Data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS; 2000-2001) and only the inpatient data from acute care hospitals contained in the Hospital Morbidity Database were used (same-day procedures were excluded) for the analysis.
