Doug Manuel, MD, MSc, William M. Flanagan, BM, Meltem Tuna, PhD, Anya Okhmatovskaia, PhD, Philippe Finès, PhD; Carol Bennett, MSc Coronary heart disease risk factors in Canada: a Microsimulation predictive model
Simulated Technology for Applied Research (STAR) • A Canadian Institute for Health Research New Emerging Team including: • Behnam Sharif, MSc, • Jacek A. Kopec, MD, PhD, • Hubert Wong, PhD, • Aslam Anis , PhD, • Eric C. Sayre, PhD, M. • Mushfiqur Rahman, MSc, • David Buckeridge, MD, PhD, • Jillian Oderkirk, MSc, • Michal Abrahamowicz, PhD, • Sam Harper, PhD, • Michael C. Wolfson, PhD
Chronic Diseases • Major cause of death and disability worldwide. • Reason of more than 55 thousand deaths in Canada so far this year. • 57% of those under 65 live with at least one chronic condition. • An additional chronic disease raises the risk of hospitalization by 44% among people under age 60.

Micro-simulation at Statistics Canada POHEM: Population Health Model
Characteristics of POHEM • case-by-case, longitudinal, continuous time, stochastic, Monte Carlo microsimulation • directly encompasses competing risks and comorbidity • longitudinal risk factor and disease sub-modules • projects population forward in continuous time • generates plausible health biographies over the life course of synthetic individuals from empirical observations
Process for projecting coronary heart disease risks in Canada, 2001 to 2020 Canadian population (2001) Canadian Community Health Survey (2001) Update for births, deaths, immigration, emigration and change in CAD risks Update yearly (2002 – 2009) Compare births, deaths, immigration , emigration and prevalence of CAD. Validate (2002 – 2009) Generate predictive estimates (2010 – 2020)
