The 1991 Canadian Census Cohort is the largest population-based cohort in Canada (N=2,734,835). Prior to the creation of this Cohort, no national population-based Canadian cohort was available to examine mortality by socioeconomic indicators. The 1991 Canadian Census Cohort was created via the linkage of a sub-sample of respondents from the mandatory 1991 Canadian Census long-form to historical tax summary files, Canadian Mortality Database, Canadian Cancer Database, 1991 Health and Activity…

Social determinants of lung cancer incidence in Canada: A 13-year prospective study.
TLDR
An inverse risk between lung cancer incidence and educational attainment, income and occupation emerged among men and women, and a stepped negative gradient in RRs was evident for all SES variables and age groups.
Exposure to traffic and mortality risk in the 1991-2011 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort (CanCHEC).
Prostate cancer surveillance by occupation and industry: the Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort (CanCHEC)
TLDR
Elevated risks were observed in the following occupations in men aged 25–74 years, and the need for further study of job‐related exposures and the potential influence of nonoccupational factors such as screening practices is emphasized.
Cancer and the healthy immigrant effect: a statistical analysis of cancer diagnosis using a linked Census-cancer registry administrative database
TLDR
Recent immigrants to Canada are significantly less likely than otherwise comparable non-immigrant Canadians to be diagnosed with any cancer and the most common forms of cancer by site and this gap appears to decline with additional years in Canada for immigrant men and women, eventually converging to Canadian-born levels.
Immigration, ethnicity, and avoidable mortality in Canada, 1991–2006
TLDR
Whether immigrants overall and selected foreign-born ethnic groups (Western Europeans, South Asians, Chinese, and Filipinos) have an advantage over nonimmigrants in avoidable mortality is established and differential access to and use of health services, differences in protective health-related behavior, and the healthy immigrant effect are suggested.
Cancer risks in a population-based study of 70,570 agricultural workers: results from the Canadian census health and Environment cohort (CanCHEC)
TLDR
Findings from CanCHEC (Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort), the largest national population-based cohort of agricultural workers, suggest increased risks of lip cancer and melanoma may be attributed to sun exposure and reduced smoking and alcohol consumption in this occupational group compared to the general population.
Cancer Survival Disparities Between First Nation and Non-Aboriginal Adults in Canada: Follow-up of the 1991 Census Mortality Cohort
TLDR
Compared with non-Aboriginals, First Nations people had poorer survival for 14 of 15 of the most common cancers, and disparities could not be explained by income and rurality.
The influence of community well-being on mortality among Registered First Nations people.
TLDR
First Nations people in communities with below-average CWB scores tended to have higher mortality rates, and for some components of the CWB, effects remained even when individual socioeconomic characteristics were taken into account.
The return migration patterns of Canadian seniors: insights from the 1991 cancer cohort study
Roughly one-fifth of all Canadians leave their birth province, usually as young adults, to seek opportunities in other parts of the country (or beyond, although we are unable to look at international…
Risk of Hospitalization Due to Unintentional Fall Injury in British Columbia, Canada, 1999–2008: Ecological Associations with Socioeconomic Status, Geographic Place, and Aboriginal Ethnicity
TLDR
Closing the gap in fall injury risk between the general and Aboriginal populations is likely achievable by closing the gaps in socioeconomic conditions.

The Canadian census mortality follow-up study, 1991 through 2001.
TLDR
The methods used to link census data from the long-form questionnaire to mortality data reveal a stair-stepped gradient, with bigger steps near the bottom of the socio-economic hierarchy.
Socioeconomic determinants of mortality in two Canadian provinces: multilevel modelling and neighborhood context.
Modelling risk factor information for linked census data: The case of smoking.
TLDR
Modelled current daily smoker status was associated with increased odds of smoking-related hospitalization, compared with being a never smoker, even when adjusting for covariates.
Mortality of Métis and registered Indian adults in Canada: an 11-year follow-up study.
TLDR
Métis adults had higher mortality rates compared with non-Aboriginal members of the cohort, but lower rates than did Registered Indians, according to the 1991 to 2001 Canadian census mortality followup study.
Career earnings and death: a longitudinal analysis of older Canadian men.
TLDR
An analysis of male mortality at ages 65 to 74 in relation to socioeconomic characteristics, specifically employment and self-employment earnings histories during the 10 to 20 years prior to age 65, marital status, disability, and age at retirement is reported.
Health Inequalities, Deprivation, Immigration and Aboriginality in Canada: A Geographic Perspective
Objective: This study explores the contribution of deprivation, immigration and Aboriginal status to survival in various parts of Canada. It is hypothesized that differences in the magnitude of…
A comparison of individual and area-based socio-economic data for monitoring social inequalities in health.
TLDR
The individual version of the deprivation index yields wider gaps in life expectancy and disability-free life expectancy than does the area-based version, and both versions are associated with inequalities in mortality and disability, independent of each other.
Cardiovascular disease mortality among First Nations people in Canada, 1991-2001.
TLDR
First Nations people had higher rates of death from cardiovascular disease than non-Aboriginal Canadians within each income quintile and level of education.
Estimates of the Relative Risk of Mortality Based on the Ontario Longitudinal Study of Aging

  • Psychology

  • 1989
TLDR
The results indicate that smoking is the strong predictor of mortality, and income is the strongest socioeconomic predictor.
Long-Term Exposure to Traffic-Related Air Pollution and Cardiovascular Mortality
TLDR
Traffic-related air pollution at relatively low concentrations in Ontario was associated with increased mortality from cardiovascular disease and no association was found for cerebrovascular mortality.
