The Public Health Agency of Canada has released the report Aging and Chronic Diseases: A Profile of Canadian Seniors.
This report provides a pan-Canadian profile of chronic diseases among seniors aged 65 years and older. It examines socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the senior population in Canada, its global health status (such as life expectancy and self-reported health and mental health), chronic diseases, conditions and other health outcomes (such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders, neurological diseases and oral diseases), as well as health determinants.
