  1. Back to Basics, 2011POPULATION HEALTH :Vital & Health Statistics Presented by Robert Spasoff, MD Epidemiology & Community Medicine

  2. 78.1: VITAL STATISTICS INFORMATION • What are the key causes of illness or death in Canada? Common things are common – using epidemiology can help you run a better clinical practice • How have disease incidence and mortality changed in Canada in the past 20 years? • Little good information on disease incidence except for reportable diseases and cancer (cancer registries)

  3. TOPICS • Demography, population dynamics • Mortality, and inequalities therein • Morbidity • Summary measures of population health • Aboriginal health

  4. Population Dynamics, 2007

  5. World Health Report, 2006 (data mostly from 2004)

  6. Canadian Historical Population Pyramids • http://www12.statcan.ca/english/census01/products/analytic/companion/age/cda01pymd.cfm

  7. Standardization • An older method of adjusting for confounding (usually used for differences in age between two populations) • Refers observed events to a standard population, producing hypothetical values • Direct: yields age-standardized rate (ASMR) • Indirect: yields standardized mortality ratio (SMR)

  8. Mortality dataThree ways to summarize them • Mortality rates (crude, specific, standardized) • PYLL: subtracts age at death from some “acceptable” age of death. Emphasizes causes that kill at younger ages. • Life expectancy: average age at death if current mortality rates continue. Derived from life table.

  9. General (All-Causes) Mortality

  10. Annual NUMBER of Deaths,by Sex, Canada, 1979-2004 10

  11. Age-Standardized Mortality RATES,Canada, 1979-2004

  12. Infant Mortality, 1935-2005

  16. 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 Income adequacy quintiles Remaining Life Expectancy at age 25. Based on 10-year follow-up to 1991 census

  17. Remaining life expectancy at age 25 (conditional on surviving to age 25), 1991-2001

  18. Probability of survival to age 75 (conditional on surviving to age 25), 1991-2001

  19. Cause-Specific Mortality

  20. Leading causes of death • Cardiovascular disease: 37% • Heart disease: 20% • Other circulatory disease: 10% • Stroke 7% • Cancer: 28% • Lung cancer: 9% (M); 6% (W) • Breast cancer: 4% (W) • Prostate cancer: 4% (M) • Respiratory Disease: 10% • Injuries: 6% • Diabetes: 3% • Alzheimer’s: 1%

  21. Impact of different causes of death in Canada 2001: • Mortality rates and PYLL • Source: Statistics Canada

  22. CANCER: 30.3% Circ Disease: 27.6% †† † † Pneumonia & influenza grouped with respiratory disease. Would increase infectious % to about 3.4%.

  23. CANCER: 29.8% Circ Disease: 29.0% EXTERNAL CAUSES: 4.8%+ { † † † Pneumonia & influenza grouped with respiratory disease. Would increase infectious % to about 3.5%.

  24. CANCER: 31.6% Circ Disease: 27.3% EXTERNAL CAUSES: 3.4%+ { † † † Pneumonia & influenza grouped with respiratory disease. Would increase infectious % to about 3.3%.

  25. Deaths due to Cardiovascular Disease and Cancer, Canada, 1979-2004: Sex ratio (M/F)

  32. Time trends in FemalesIncidence Mortality

  33. Summary Measures of Population Health

  34. Summary measuresof population health • Combine mortality and morbidity statistics, in order to provide a more comprehensive population health indicator, e.g., QALY • Years lived are weighted according to quality of life, disability, etc. • Two types: • Health expectancies point up from zero • Health gaps point down from ideal (Japan)

  35. Summary Measures ofPopulation Health

  36. 2001 Life Expectancy andHealth-Adjusted Life Expectancy • HALE always < LE • Females live longer (but gap is narrowing) • Females suffer more morbidity

  37. Disability-Adjusted Life-Years Lost, by Disease Group

  38. Which Chronic Diseases?

  39. Impact of Chronic Diseases
