Are "immortals" an issue for survival estimates derived from Canadian Cancer Registry data?
This study assesses the issue of immortals in the Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) using a recently proposed method that compares the survival of long-term survivors of cancers for which "statistical" cure has been reported with that of similar people from the general population.DATA AND METHODS: Data are from the population-based CCR record linked to the Canadian Vital Statistics - Death Database and tax data. Yearly interval-specific relative survival (IRS) estimates were derived up to 15 years after diagnosis for colon cancer cases, and for colon, rectal and melanoma cancer cases combined, diagnosed from 1992 to 2002.RESU...

Intersecting risk factors for physical inactivity among Canadian adults
Health Rep. 2023 Nov 15;34(11):12-24. doi: 10.25318/82-003-x202301100002-eng.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: On average, 45% of Canadian adults meet the recommended 150 minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. This singular statistic masks a wide range of adherence levels among different groups within the population. The purpose of this paper is to determine how sex, age, and family arrangement intersect with known risk factors for physical inactivity to identify groups within the Canadian population most at risk of not meeting the physical activity recommendation.METHODS: Using six combined cycles of the Canadian H...
