Authors: Susanti Reni , Sumarmin Ramadhan
Published: October 2020

Anuran is an animal with a short body size, wide and stiff. The head and body are united and have no tail. Ecologically, Anuran plays an important role in the food chain as secondary consumers. It is known that all types of Anuran are carnivores with a diet such as arthropods and worms. This study aims to determine the natural food preferences of F. cancrivora and F. limnocharis on the West Coast of Sumatra Island. This research is a descriptive study which was conducted in 3 stages, namely the first stage of taking Anuran in the field, the second stage of washing the stomach and the third stage of identifying the type of feed. The results showed that the type of feed that was mostly found in the stomachs of the two frogs was the Hymenoptera order from the Insect class. The overlapping niche values ​​of the two types of frogs in the village of Setara Nanggalo show a highly competitive tendency, the conclusion is that these two types of Anuran food have the same diet and are sympathetic populations.
The Extraction of Essential Oil from Piper Cubeba by Using Solvent Free Microwave Extraction Method
Authors: Eralita Norma , Khuzaimah Siti
Published: October 2020

This research aims to study the production of essential oil from Piper Cubeba using the solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) method. Before extraction, the raw materials are prepared in the form of grains and powders to vary the size of the raw materials. Time variation was carried out at microwave power 180 Watt Analyses were then performed on the resulting essential oil using both physical and chemical tests of density and solubility with 96% alcohol. Analyses of chemical compounds within the essential oil were then performed using the Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). It was found that the production of essential oil from Piper Cubeba using the SFME method was affected by microwave power, grain size, and treatment duration. Results from physical and chemical analyses revealed that the resulting cubeb oil has 0.86 g/mL density, which means that essential oil produced using the SFME method is lighter compared than those produced using MAHD methods. Results from GC-MS analyses showed eight components detected from the production of essential oil from Piper cubeba using the SFMEmethod; Copaene (39.28%), Cubebene (23.83%), Isoledene (11.66%), Naphthalene (6.65%), Phellandrene (5.81%), Asarone (5.71%), Cadidene (4.90%), and Caryophyllene (2.16%) which contents belong to the sesquiterpene group
Screen-based sedentary behaviours among a nationally representative sample of youth: are Canadian kids couch potatoes?
Authors: Leatherdale ST , Ahmed R
Published: October 2020

Purpose

To determine the percentage of Canadian youth meeting screen-time guidelines and to identify characteristics associated with different screen-time behaviours.

Methods

Using nationally representative data collected from the 2008/2009 Youth Smoking Survey (YSS), we analyzed three screen-time behaviours, cigarette smoking, weekly spending money, self esteem, region and grade by sex, and conducted four logistic regression models to examine factors associated with more than 2 hours a day of sedentary screen time.

Results

Of 51 922 Canadian youth in grades 6 to 12, 50.9% spent more than 2 hours per day in screen-based behaviours. The average daily screen time was 7.8 (± 2.3) hours. Males and current smokers were more likely to report over 2 hours per day watching TV and videos or playing video games, whereas students in higher grades and those with weekly spending money were more likely to report playing or surfing on a computer. Youth with higher self-esteem were less likely to report spending over 2 hours per day in each of the three screen-time behaviours examined.

Conclusion

Developing a better understanding of the factors associated with more hours of screen time is required to develop and target interventions that reduce screen-time behaviours.
Comportements associés au temps passé devant un écran : les enfants canadiens passent-ils leur temps vautrés sur un divan?
Authors: Leatherdale ST , Ahmed R
Published: October 2020

Objectif

Déterminer le pourcentage de jeunes Canadiens qui respectent les recommandations en matière de temps passé devant un écran et caractériser les différents comportements associés au temps passé devant un écran.

Méthodologie

Au moyen des données représentatives à l’échelle nationale recueillies dans le cadre de l’Enquête sur le tabagisme chez les jeunes (ETJ) de 2008-2009, nous avons analysé trois comportements associés au temps passé devant un écran en lien avec le tabagisme, l’allocation hebdomadaire, l’estime de soi, la région, le niveau scolaire et le sexe. Nous avons créé quatre modèles de régression logistique pour examiner les facteurs associés au fait de consacrer plus de 2 heures par jour à une activité sédentaire devant un écran.

Résultats

Sur les 51 922 jeunes Canadiens de la 6e à la 12e année, 50,9 % passaient plus de 2 heures par jour devant un écran. Le temps moyen passé chaque jour devant un écran était de 7,8 (± 2,3) heures. Les garçons et les fumeurs étaient plus nombreux à déclarer passer plus de 2 heures par jour à regarder la télévision et des vidéos ou à jouer à des jeux vidéo, tandis que les élèves de niveau scolaire plus élevé et ceux qui recevaient une allocation hebdomadaire étaient plus nombreux à déclarer jouer à des jeux sur un ordinateur ou naviguer sur Internet. Les jeunes qui avaient une plus grande estime de soi étaient moins nombreux à déclarer consacrer plus de 2 heures par jour aux trois comportements associés au temps passé devant un écran faisant l’objet de l’étude.

Conclusion

Mieux comprendre les facteurs associés à un plus grand nombre d’heures passées devant un écran va permettre de cibler les interventions contribuant à diminuer le temps passé devant un écran.
Questions prioritaires en matière de recherche sur le cancer d’origine professionnelle : points de vue des intervenants en Ontario
Authors: Hohenadel K , Pichora E , Marrett L , Bukvic D , Brown J , Harris SA , Demers PA , Blair A
Published: October 2020

Introduction

En milieu de travail, les travailleurs peuvent être exposés à des agents cancérogènes connus ou présumés, dont bon nombre n’ont pas fait l’objet d’une évaluation complète. La recherche sur le cancer d’origine professionnelle a connu une baisse au cours des dernières décennies, et ce, même si les besoins demeurent constants. Le Centre de recherche sur le cancer professionnel (CRCP) a été créé en vue de contrer cette tendance à la baisse en Ontario. Le CRCP a mené une enquête auprès de l’ensemble des intervenants pour connaître les questions prioritaires en matière de recherche sur le cancer d’origine professionnelle.

Méthodologie

Dans le cadre de l’enquête, le CRCP a reçu 177 réponses provenant d’intervenants du milieu universitaire, du milieu de la santé et de l’industrie, d’intervenants affiliés à des syndicats et de responsables des politiques. Les réponses ont été analysées en fonction de l’exposition en milieu de travail, des emplois à risque et du siège de cancer, et elles ont été stratifiées selon le poste occupé.

Résultats

Les questions prioritaires soulevées comprennent diverses catégories d’exposition en milieu de travail, notamment les catégories « produits chimiques », « particules et fibres inhalables » (p. ex. amiante), « rayonnements » (p. ex. champs électromagnétiques), « pesticides » et « travail par quarts », ainsi que divers types d’emplois, en particulier les mineurs, les travailleurs de la construction et les travailleurs de la santé. Un financement inadéquat et des données insuffisantes sur l’exposition ont été définis comme les principaux obstacles à la recherche sur le cancer d’origine professionnelle.

Discussion

Les résultats de cette enquête font ressortir le besoin criant de recherche sur le cancer d’origine professionnelle en Ontario et ailleurs. Ces données seront très utiles pour l’élaboration du programme de recherche du CRCP.
Can we use medical examiners’ records for suicide surveillance and prevention research in Nova Scotia?
Authors: Campbell LA , Jackson L , Bassett R , Bowes MJ , Donahue M , Cartwright J , Kisely S
Published: October 2020

Introduction

Medical examiners’ records can contribute to our understanding of the extent of suicide in a population, as well as associated sociodemographic and other factors.

Methods

Using a mixed methods approach, the key objective of this pilot study was to determine the sources and types of information found in the Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service (NSMES) records that might inform suicide surveillance and targeted prevention efforts. A secondary objective was to describe the one-year cohort of 108 individuals who died by suicide in 2006 in terms of available sociodemographic information and health care use in the year prior to death.

Results

Data extraction revealed inconsistencies both across and within files in terms of the types and amounts of sociodemographic and other data collected, preventing correlational analyses. However, linkage of the records to administrative databases revealed frequent health care use in the month prior to death.

Conclusion

The introduction of systematic data collection to NSMES investigations may yield a comprehensive dataset useful for policy development and population level research.
Workshop report - International roundtable on the self-management support of chronic conditions
Authors: Mills SL , Vanden E
Published: October 2020

An international roundtable on self-management support (SMS) for persons living with chronic conditions (CCs) was held in Vancouver, Canada, in June 2009. It brought together 23 leading researchers, policy makers, health care practitioners and consumers from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. It also provided a forum for critically reflecting on SMS approaches and for building consensus on how to move forward in the self-management field. The deliberations resulted in a draft international framework that identifies key definitions, principles and strategic directions and also outlines sample strategies to guide those working to develop SMS capacities at the local, regional or national level. The framework is a mechanism for knowledge exchange that will hopefully act as a catalyst to shift SMS-related policy, practice and research directions to better serve the needs of all CC populations. More than 400 multi-level stakeholders in the Canadian and international community have been invited to review the framework using an e-consultation process. The final framework is scheduled for release in the late fall of 2011.
Associations divergentes entre l’incidence de l’hypertension artérielle et la défavorisation selon le mode d’identification des cas
Authors: Aubé-Maurice J. , Rochette L. , Blais C.
Published: October 2020

Contexte

Selon diverses études, l’hypertension artérielle serait plus fréquente chez les personnes les plus défavorisées. Notre objectif était d’examiner l’association entre l’incidence de l’hypertension et la défavorisation au Québec en nous fondant sur divers modes d’identification des cas, à l’aide de deux fichiers administratifs.

Méthodologie

Nous avons recensé les nouveaux cas d’hypertension artérielle déclarés en 2006-2007 chez les personnes de 20 ans et plus. Nous avons déterminé le statut socioéconomique de ces personnes en utilisant des indices de défavorisation matérielle et sociale. Nous avons effectué des analyses de régression binomiale négative pour étudier le lien entre le taux d’incidence de l’hypertension et le niveau de défavorisation matérielle ou sociale, en tenant compte de diverses covariables.

Résultats

Nous avons trouvé une association positive et statistiquement significative entre la défavorisation matérielle et l’incidence de l’hypertension chez les femmes, et ce, peu importe le fichier administratif utilisé pour identifier les cas. En utilisant le fichier des hospitalisations, nous avons observé que l’incidence de l’hypertension croît chez les deux sexes à mesure que le niveau de défavorisation augmente, sauf pour la défavorisation sociale chez les femmes. Toutefois, que ce soit en utilisant le fichier des services médicaux rémunérés à l’acte ou en utilisant la définition validée de l’hypertension obtenue en associant les données des deux fichiers administratifs, nous avons constaté que l’incidence de l’hypertension décroît à mesure que le niveau de défavorisation augmente.

Conclusion

Les associations observées entre l’hypertension et la défavorisation varient en fonction du fichier administratif utilisé : de façon générale, on observe une association positive lorsqu’on utilise le fichier des hospitalisations, mais négative lorsqu’on utilise la définition standard et le fichier des services médicaux rémunérés à l’acte, ce qui laisse croire qu’il existe un biais de consultation favorisant les personnes les plus avantagées sur le plan socioéconomique.
Coaches' knowledge and awareness of spit tobacco use among youth athletes: results of a 2009 Ontario survey
Authors: Skinner J.H.C. , Bobbili S.J.
Published: October 2020

Introduction

Public health professionals have become concerned that spit tobacco (ST) use among athletes is increasing. However, little is known about the issue in Canada, particularly among youth.

Methods

The Not to Kids Coalition and the Coaches Association of Ontario surveyed coaches regarding ST knowledge and awareness and their perceived roles as coaches in influencing ST use among their athletes. Surveys were distributed electronically to individuals who coached male and female youth aged 9 to 18 years in baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and track and field, in Ontario.

Results

Almost all of the surveyed coaches responded correctly to questions about the health effects of ST use, and about 80% of respondents answered correctly to the question about legislation associated with ST and youth.

Conclusion

Most coaches are interested in receiving information about ST, particularly the health effects of ST use and how to prevent ST use among athletes. Multiple formats should be used to provide information to coaches, including both electronic and hard copy materials.
Tendances longitudinales en matière de santé mentale parmi les groupes ethniques au Canada
Authors: Pahwa P. , Karunanayake C.P. , McCrosky J. , Thorpe L.
Published: October 2020

Introduction

L’immigration continue à transformer la composition ethnique de la population canadienne. Nous avons mené une enquête afin de déterminer si les tendances longitudinales en matière de détresse psychologique variaient entre sept groupes culturels et ethniques, et si la détresse psychologique au sein d’un même groupe ethnique variait en fonction de facteurs démographiques (statut d’immigrant, sexe, âge, état matrimonial, lieu et durée de la résidence), socioéconomiques (éducation, revenu), de soutien social et de style de vie.

Methods

La population étudiée était composée de 14 713 répondants de 15 ans et plus issus des six premiers cycles de l’Enquête nationale sur la santé de la population (ENSP); 20 % ont déclaré au moment du cycle 1 (1994-1995) être immigrants. Le modèle de régression logistique a été ajusté par la modification de la méthode de quasi-vraisemblance multivariée, et des estimations de variance robustes ont été obtenues à l’aide de méthodes de rééchantillonnage à répliques équilibrées.

Results

En nous fondant sur le modèle multivarié et les données autodéclarées, nous avons observé que les femmes étaient plus susceptibles que les hommes de déclarer une détresse psychologique modérée/élevée; il en était de même des répondants les plus jeunes par rapport aux répondants les plus vieux, des répondants célibataires par rapport aux répondants en couple, des citadins par rapport aux ruraux, des répondants moins éduqués par rapport aux répondants plus éduqués, des fumeurs – anciens et actuels – par rapport aux non-fumeurs et des personnes vivant dans un ménage fumeur par rapport à celles vivant dans un ménage non-fumeur. Le statut d’immigrant, le sexe, le score pour la participation à la vie sociale et l’éducation avaient une incidence sur la relation entre l’ethnicité et la détresse psychologique. Nous avons constaté – ce qui étaye d’autres études – une relation en U inversé entre la durée du séjour et la détresse psychologique : les répondants qui vivaient au Canada depuis moins de 2 ans étaient moins susceptibles de déclarer une détresse psychologique modérée/élevée, tandis que les répondants qui vivaient au Canada depuis 2 à 20 ans étaient beaucoup plus susceptibles de déclarer une détresse psychologique modérée/élevée que ceux y résidant depuis plus de 20 ans.

Conclusion

Il faut élaborer des programmes de santé mentale spécifiques en fonction de l’ethnicité et ciblant les personnes avec un niveau de scolarité peu élevé et participant peu à la vie sociale. En outre, les politiques et les programmes devraient cibler les femmes, les plus jeunes (groupe des 15 à 24 ans) et les personnes relevant des catégories de faible adéquation du revenu.
Distribution of human papillomavirus types, cervical cancer screening history, and risk factors for infection in Manitoba
Authors: Demers A.A. , Shearer B. , Severini A. , Lotocki R. , Kliewer E.V. , Stopera S. , Wong T. , Jayaraman G.
Published: October 2020

Objectives

We conducted a study to investigate the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections in an opportunistic sample of women in Manitoba, Canada. We inquired about risk factors associated with HPV infections and linked the HPV typing results with the cervical cancer screening history of the participants.

Methods

The study population included 592 women attending Papanicolaou (Pap) test clinics. After signing a consent form, participants were given a self-administered questionnaire on risk factors and received a conventional Pap test. Residual cells from the Pap tests were collected and sent for HPV typing.

Results

The mean age of the population was 43 years. A total of 115 participants (19.4%) had an HPV infection, 89 of whom had a normal Pap test. Of those who were HPV-positive, 61 (10.3%) had high-risk (Group 1) HPV. HPV-16 was the most prevalent type (15/115: 13.0% of infections). The most consistent risk factors for HPV infection were young age, Aboriginal ethnicity, higher lifetime number of sexual partners and higher number of sexual partners in the previous year.

Conclusion

The prevalence of HPV types in Manitoba is consistent with the distributions reported in other jurisdictions. These data provide baseline information on type-specific HPV prevalence in an unvaccinated population and can be useful in evaluating the effectiveness of the HPV immunization program. An added benefit is in the validation of a proof of concept which links a population-based Pap registry to laboratory test results and a risk behaviour survey to assess early and late outcomes of HPV infection. This methodology could be applied to other jurisdictions across Canada where such capacities exist.
Features of physician services databases in Canada
Authors: Lix L.M. , Walker R. , Quan H. , Nesdole R. , Yang J. , Chen G. ,   for the CHEP-ORTF Hypertension Outcomes and Surveillance Team
Published: October 2020

Introduction

Physician services databases (PSDs) are a valuable resource for research and surveillance in Canada. However, because the provinces and territories collect and maintain separate databases, data elements are not standardized. This study compared major features of PSDs.

Methods

The primary source was a survey of key informants that collected information about years of data, patient/provider characteristics, database inclusions/exclusions, coding of diagnoses, procedures and service locations. Data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information's (CIHI) National Physician Database were used to examine physician remuneration methods, which may affect PSD completeness. Survey data were obtained for nine provinces and two territories.

Results

Most databases contained post-1990 records. Diagnoses were frequently recorded using ICD-9 codes. Other coding systems differed across jurisdictions and time, although all PSDs identified in-hospital services and distinguished family medicine from other specialties. Capture of non-fee-for-service records varied and CIHI data revealed an increasing proportion of non-fee-for-service physicians over time.

Conclusion

Further research is needed to investigate the potential effects of PSD differences on comparability of findings from pan-Canadian studies.
Using national surveys for mental health surveillance of individuals with intellectual disabilities in Canada
Authors: Bielska I.A. , Ouellette-Kuntz H. , Hunter D.
Published: October 2020

Introduction

Individuals with intellectual disabilities have a higher prevalence of health problems, including psychiatric and behavioural conditions, than the general population. However, there is little population-based information in Canada about individuals with a dual diagnosis of psychiatric disorder and intellectual impairment. The aim of this study was to determine whether the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) and the 2006 Participation and Activity Limitation Survey (PALS) could be used to estimate the prevalence of dual diagnosis in Canada.

Methods

We undertook a secondary analysis of two population-based surveys to determine if these could be used to estimate the prevalence of psychiatric or behavioural conditions among adults with intellectual disabilities in Canada.

Results

The surveys reflect prevalence estimates of intellectual disabilities (CCHS: 0.2% and PALS: 0.5%) that are considerably lower than those published in the literature. While it was possible to calculate the proportion of individuals with a dual diagnosis (CCHS: 30.6% and PALS: 44.3%), the surveys were of limited use for detailed analyses. The estimates of prevalence derived from the surveys, especially from the CCHS, were of unacceptable quality due to high sampling variability and selection bias.

Conclusion

The estimates should be interpreted with caution due to concerns regarding the representativeness of the sample with intellectual disabilities in the national surveys.
Utilisation d'enquêtes nationales pour la surveillance de la santé mentale des personnes présentant une déficience intellectuelle au Canada
Authors: Bielska I.A. , Ouellette-Kuntz H. , Hunter D.
Published: October 2020

Contexte

On observe davantage de problèmes de santé, dont des troubles psychiatriques et comportementaux, chez les personnes présentant une déficience intellectuelle que dans l'ensemble de la population. Cependant, on dispose au Canada de peu de données fondées sur des études de population concernant les personnes qui présentent un double diagnostic de trouble psychiatrique et de déficience intellectuelle. L'objectif de cette étude était de déterminer si l'Enquête sur la santé dans les collectivités canadiennes (ESCC) de 2005 et l'Enquête sur la participation et les limitations d'activités (EPLA) de 2006 pouvaient être utilisées pour estimer la fréquence des cas de double diagnostic au Canada.

Méthodologie

Nous avons mené une analyse secondaire de ces deux enquêtes de population afin de déterminer si elles pouvaient être utilisées pour estimer la prévalence des troubles psychiatriques ou comportementaux chez les adultes présentant une déficience intellectuelle au Canada.

Résultats

La prévalence des déficiences intellectuelles estimée à partir des enquêtes (ESCC : 0,2 % et EPLA : 0,5 %) est considérablement plus faible que les données sur la prévalence publiées dans la littérature. Bien qu'il ait été possible de calculer la proportion de personnes ayant reçu un double diagnostic (ESCC : 30,6 % et EPLA : 44,3 %), les enquêtes ont été d'une utilité limitée pour la réalisation d'analyses détaillées. Les estimations de la prévalence effectuées à partir des enquêtes, et en particulier de l'ESCC, étaient de qualité insuffisante, du fait d'une forte variabilité de l'échantillonnage ainsi que d'un biais de sélection.

Conclusion

Il convient d'interpréter les estimations avec prudence étant donné la représentativité discutable de l'échantillon de personnes présentant une déficience intellectuelle dans les enquêtes nationales.
Self-management, health service use and information seeking for diabetes care among recent immigrants in Toronto
Authors: Hyman I , Patychuk D , Zaidi Q , Kljujic D , Shakya YB , Rummens JA , Creatore M , Vissandjee B
Published: October 2020

Introduction

Our objective was to explore self-management practices, health services use and information-seeking for type 2 diabetes care among adult men and women from four recent immigrant communities in Toronto.

Methods

A structured questionnaire was adapted for the Canadian context and translated into 4 languages. A total of 184 participants with type 2 diabetes—130 recent immigrants and 54 Canadian-born—were recruited in both community and hospital settings.

Results

Recent immigrants were significantly less likely than the Canadian-born group to perform regular blood glucose and foot checks and significantly more likely than the Canadian-born group to be non-smokers, participate in regular physical activity and reduce dietary fat. Recent immigrants were significantly less likely than the Canadian-born group to use a specialist, alternative provider and dietician and less likely to report using dieticians, nurses and diabetes organizations as sources of diabetes-related information. Important differences were observed by sex and country of origin.

Conclusion

Findings suggest that diabetes prevention and management strategies for recent immigrants must address linguistic, financial, informational and systemic barriers to information and care.
Influence of viewing professional ice hockey on youth hockey injuries
Authors: Keays G , Pless B
Published: October 2020

Introduction

Most televised National Hockey League (NHL) games include violent body checks, illegal hits and fights. We postulated that minor league players imitated these behaviours and that not seeing these games would reduce the rate of injuries among younger hockey players.

Methods

Using a quasi-experimental design, we compared 7 years of televised NHL matches (2002–2009) with the year of the NHL lock-out (2004/2005). Data from the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP) were used to identify the injuries and to ascertain whether they were due to intentional contact and illegal acts including fights.

Results

We found no significant differences in the proportions of all injuries and those involving intentional contact, violations or illegal acts among male minor league hockey players during the year when professional players were locked out and the years before and after the lock-out.

Conclusion

We concluded that not seeing televised NHL violence may not reduce injuries, although a possible effect may have been obscured because there was a striking increase in attendance at equally violent minor league games during the lock-out.
Quel est le niveau d'activité physique des enfants de Toronto? Analyse de données d'accélérométrie et comparaison avec l'Enquête canadienne sur les mesures de la santé
Authors: Stone MR , Faulkner GE , Buliung RN
Published: October 2020

Introduction

L'Enquête canadienne sur les mesures de la santé (ECMS) est l'enquête directe sur les mesures de la santé la plus complète jamais réalisée au Canada. Ses résultats indiquent que la majorité des enfants et des jeunes (93 %) n'ont pas un niveau d'activité physique conforme aux recommandations actuelles en la matière pour une bonne santé. Comparer les données de l'ECMS à celles d'un autre échantillon de jeunes Canadiens, ce qui n'a pas encore était fait, pourrait confirmer les résultats de l'ECMS et alimenter la discussion sur les protocoles de réduction des données d'accélérométrie.

Méthodologie

En 2010 et 2011, des données d'accélérométrie valides ont été recueillies auprès de 856 enfants vivant dans la région du Grand Toronto (RGT). Dans la mesure du possible, nous avons harmonisé la présentation et l'analyse de ces données avec celles de l'ECMS de manière à pouvoir comparer les niveaux d'activité physique.

Résultats

Globalement, les tendances étaient similaires, avec quelques écarts dus probablement aux différences de contexte, d'échantillonnage et de protocoles de collecte et de réduction des données (choix du modèle d'accéléromètre, temps de port de ce dernier, seuils d'intensité de l'activité et intervalles de mesure).

Conclusion

Les tendances similaires observées confirment le constat selon lequel l'inactivité physique est un problème structurel à l'échelle du Canada.

Published: October 2020

Introduction

Cette étude vise à mesurer, au moyen d'une approche fondée sur l'incidence, le fardeau économique à vie lié aux traumatismes de la moelle épinière (TME) au Canada du point de vue social, en incluant les coûts directs et indirects.

Méthodologie

Les ressources disponibles et l'information sur les coûts liés aux cas de tétraplégie et de paraplégie complètes et incomplètes ont été appliquées à l'incidence annuelle estimative des TME au Canada en fonction de leur gravité.

Résultats

Le fardeau économique à vie d'une personne atteinte d'un TME varie de 1,5 million de dollars pour une paraplégie incomplète à 3 millions de dollars pour une tétraplégie complète. Le fardeau économique annuel lié aux 1 389 nouveaux cas de TME où le patient a survécu à son hospitalisation est estimé à 2,67 milliards de dollars.

Conclusion

Malgré leur fréquence annuelle relativement faible au Canada, ces blessures entraînent un fardeau économique annuel important.
Défavorisation, accès aux aliments et équilibre alimentaire à Saskatoon (Saskatchewan)
Authors: Cushon J , Creighton T , Kershaw T , Marko J , Markham T
Published: October 2020

Introduction

Nous avons étudié l'accès aux aliments et l'équilibre alimentaire à Saskatoon (Saskatchewan, Canada) en lien avec la défavorisation matérielle et sociale.

Méthodologie

Nous avons déterminé l'emplacement de tous les grands supermarchés et des restaurants-minute à Saskatoon. L'indice d'accessibilité aux supermarchés et celui de l'équilibre alimentaire ont été comparés aux indices de défavorisation matérielle et sociale afin de déterminer s'il y avait une association importante.

Résultats

Les endroits où il y a le moins de supermarchés sont les quartiers situés à l'ouest de la rivière Saskatchewan Sud ainsi que la banlieue entourant la ville. Les quartiers de l'ouest de la rivière sont les plus défavorisés de la ville. Le ratio moyen de l'équilibre alimentaire de Saskatoon est de 2,3, ce qui indique une prédominance de l'accès aux restaurants-minute. Cependant, nous n'avons pas trouvé de schéma ou de gradient socioéconomique clairs pour plusieurs des indicateurs.

Conclusion

L'étude souligne l'importance des études contextuelles sur l'accès aux aliments. L'étude met également en lumière un certain nombre d'autres questions qui devraient être étudiées à Saskatoon, comme les habitudes alimentaires individuelles, la mobilité, l'évolution dans le temps de l'accès aux aliments, l'accès économique ainsi que les interventions susceptibles d'améliorer l'accès aux aliments dans la ville.
Cause-specific mortality by occupational skill level in Canada: a 16-year follow-up study
Authors: Tjepkema M , Wilkins R , Long A
Published: October 2020

Introduction

Mortality data by occupation are not routinely available in Canada, so we analyzed census-linked data to examine cause-specific mortality rates across groups of occupations ranked by skill level.

Methods

A 15% sample of 1991 Canadian Census respondents aged 25 years or older was previously linked to 16 years of mortality data (1991–2006). The current analysis is based on 2.3 million people aged 25 to 64 years at cohort inception, among whom there were 164 332 deaths during the follow-up period. Occupations coded according to the National Occupation Classification were grouped into five skill levels. Age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs), rate ratios (RRs), rate differences (RDs) and excess mortality were calculated by occupational skill level for various causes of death.

Results

ASMRs were clearly graded by skill level: they were highest among those employed in unskilled jobs (and those without an occupation) and lowest for those in professional occupations. All-cause RRs for men were 1.16, 1.40, 1.63 and 1.83 with decreasing occupational skill level compared with professionals. For women the gradient was less steep: 1.23, 1.24, 1.32 and 1.53. This gradient was present for most causes of death. Rate ratios comparing lowest to highest skill levels were greater than 2 for HIV/AIDS, diabetes mellitus, suicide and cancer of the cervix as well as for causes of death associated with tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption.

Conclusion

Mortality gradients by occupational skill level were evident for most causes of death. These results provide detailed cause-specific baseline indicators not previously available for Canada.
Hospitalizations for unintentional injuries among Canadian adults in areas with a high percentage of Aboriginal-identity residents
Authors: Finès P , Bougie E , Oliver N , Kohen DE
Published: October 2020

Introduction

Injuries are a leading cause of death and morbidity. While individual Aboriginal identifiers are not routinely available on national administrative databases, this study examines unintentional injury hospitalization, by cause, in areas with a high percentage of Aboriginal-identity residents.

Methods

Age-standardized hospitalization rates (ASHRs) and rate ratios were calculated based on 2004/2005-2009/2010 data from the Discharge Abstract Database.

Results

Responses from parents living in provinces with legislation (n = 640) and without legislation (n = 362) were as follows: concern for injury (63% vs. 68%, nonsignificant [NS]); believe helmets are effective (98% vs. 98%, NS); child always wears a helmet (74% vs. 69%, NS); support legislation for children (95% vs. 83%, p $lt; .001); support legislation for all ages (85% vs. 75%, p $lt; .001); support police enforcement (83% vs. 76%, p = .003); believe legislation decreases the amount of time their child bicycles (5% vs. 8%, NS).

Conclusion

Residents of high-percentage Aboriginal-identity areas also live in areas of lower socio-economic conditions, suggesting that the causes for rate differences among areas require further investigation.
Chronic bronchitis in Aboriginal people—prevalence and associated factors
Authors: Konrad S , Hossain A , Senthilselvan A , Dosman JA , Pahwa MD
Published: October 2020

Introduction

Knowledge about chronic bronchitis (CB) among Aboriginal people in Canada is limited. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of CB and its associated factors among Aboriginal people aged 15 years plus.

Methods

Logistic regression analysis was used on data from the cross-sectional 2006 Aboriginal Peoples Survey to determine risk factors associated with CB.

Results

CB prevalence was 6.6% among First Nations, 6.2% among Métis and 2.4% among Inuit. Prevalence was higher among females than males (7.2% versus 5.0%). Individuals with CB were more likely to be older, living at a lower income, with a lower educational attainment and residing in rural areas. Smoking status and body mass index were also significantly associated with CB, but their effect differed by sex. Obesity was particularly significantly associated with CB among females compared with males, and current smoking and non-smoking status was significantly associated with CB among females but not males.

Conclusion

These findings identify factors associated with CB among Aboriginal people. As such, they may represent potentially preventable risk factors that can inform health promotion and disease prevention practices.
Changes in fall-related mortality in older adults in Quebec, 1981–2009
Authors: Gagné M , Robitaille Y , Jean S , Perron P-A
Published: October 2020

Introduction

Our purpose was to evaluate changes in fall-related mortality in adults aged 65 years and over in Quebec and to propose a case definition based on all the causes entered on Return of Death forms.

Methods

The analysis covers deaths between 1981 and 2009 recorded in the Quebec vital statistics data.

Results

While the number of fall-related deaths increased between 1981 and 2009, the adjusted falls-related mortality rate remained relatively stable. Since the early 2000s, this stability has masked opposing trends. The mortality rate associated with certified falls (W00–W19) has increased while the rate for presumed falls (exposure to an unspecified factor causing a fracture) has decreased.

Conclusion

For fall surveillance, analyses using indicators from the vital statistics data should include both certified falls and presumed falls. In addition, a possible shift in the coding of fall-related deaths toward secondary causes should be taken into account.
Cross-Canada Forum – How we identify and count Aboriginal people—does it make a difference in estimating their disease burden?
Authors: Chan WW , Ng C , Young TK
Published: October 2020

Introduction

We examined the concordance between the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) ''identity'' and ''ancestry'' questions used to estimate the size of the Aboriginal population in Canada and whether the different definitions affect the prevalence of selected chronic diseases.

Methods

Based on responses to the ''identity'' and ''ancestry'' questions in the CCHS combined 2009–2010 microdata file, Aboriginal participants were divided into 4 groups:

identity only;
ancestry only;
either ancestry or identity; and
both ancestry and identity.
Prevalence of diabetes, arthritis and hypertension was estimated based on participants reporting that a health professional had told them that they have the condition(s).

Results

Of participants who identified themselves as Aboriginal, only 63% reported having an Aboriginal ancestor; of those who claimed Aboriginal ancestry, only 57% identified themselves as Aboriginal. The lack of concordance also differs according to whether the individual was First Nation, Métis or Inuit. The different method of estimating the Aboriginal population, however, does not significantly affect the prevalence of the three selected chronic diseases.

Conclusion

The lack of concordance requires further investigation by combining more cycles of CCHS to compare discrepancy across regions, genders and socio-economic status. Its impact on a broader list of health conditions should be examined.
Forum pancanadien – Nos méthodes d'identification et de recension des Autochtones influent-elles sur l'évaluation du fardeau de la maladie de ce groupe de population?
Authors: Chan WW , Ng C , Young TK
Published: October 2020

Introduction

Nous avons examiné la concordance entre les questions de l'Enquête sur la santé dans les collectivités canadiennes (ESCC) relatives à l'identité et à l'ascendance utilisées pour évaluer la taille de la population autochtone au Canada et avons cherché à déterminer si les différentes définitions ont une incidence sur la prévalence de certaines maladies chroniques.

Méthodologie

D'après le fichier de microdonnées combinées sur les réponses aux questions sur l'identité et l'ascendance de l'ESCC de 2009-2010, les participants autochtones se divisent en quatre groupes :

1. identité seulement;
2. ascendance seulement;
3. ascendance ou identité et
4. ascendance et identité.
La prévalence du diabète, de l'arthrite et de l'hypertension est évaluée à partir des déclarations des participants concernant le diagnostic reçu d'un professionnel de la santé.

Résultats

Parmi les participants qui s'identifient comme autochtones, seuls 63 % déclarent avoir un ancêtre autochtone; parmi ceux qui se disent d'ascendance autochtone, seuls 57 % s'identifient comme Autochtones. Le manque de concordance diffère également selon que le sujet est membre des Premières nations, Métis ou Inuit. Cependant, les différences entre méthodes d'estimation de la population autochtone n'ont pas d'incidence significative sur la prévalence des trois maladies chroniques choisies.

Conclusion

Le manque de concordance doit être étudié de plus près, en combinant plus de cycles de l'ESCC afin de comparer les écarts entre les régions, les sexes et les statuts socioéconomiques. Il serait bon aussi d'en examiner cette incidence sur d'autres problèmes de santé.
