Future Demands for Vascular Care: A Census-Based Analysis

The 2016 Canadian Census identified the age group of 65 and older as making up a larger population percentage than those aged 15  years and younger. This demographic shift, as well as the information revolution, may impact the demand for vascular services and vascular disease management. The aims of this study are to (1) identify the national/provincial population size, (2) link population to vascular disease data, and (3) l ink disease data to resource requirements.
