The Canadian Health Measures Survey has now been collecting measured data on the fitness of Canadians for more than 10 years, allowing for new trends to be observed in the fitness of Canadians. The study "Trends in physical fitness among Canadian adults, 2007 to 2017," released today in Health Reports, shows that the fitness level of Canadian adults aged 20 to 69 years has stabilized over the past 10 years, albeit at low levels. This follows a decline in fitness levels from 1981 — the last time measured fitness data had been available — to 2007. (Source: Statistics Canada, The Daily: Health)

In Canada, from 2015 to 2020, there were approximately 1,700 deaths per year among infants under the age of 1. On average, 1 in 15 (110) of these deaths occurred while the infant was sleeping. While a number of deaths that occurred during sleep were of natural causes, such as respiratory diseases or congenital defects, the majority (83%) were sudden and unexpected and occurred in otherwise healthy infants. Sudden and unexpected sleep-related deaths are either caused by a threat to breathing such as suffocation or strangulation, or an undetermined cause, where a cause of death cannot be determined from the investigation or ...
