- W2474003516 abstract "Obesity and obesity-related chronic diseases account for the majority of deaths worldwide. While we tend to think of chronic diseases as problems primarily in high-income countries like Canada, 80% of chronic disease deaths occur in lowand middle-income countries.1 In Canada, death rates due to chronic disease are relatively low in comparison to countries like China, India and Russia, and rates of mortality from chronic disease in Canada appear to be decreasing. Chen and Millar demonstrated in Health Reports nearly 10 years ago that reductions in mortality from cardiovascular disease in the 1980s and 1990s were due, in part, to reductions in the prevalence of heart disease, high blood pressure and smoking.2 Although this report suggested that Canadians were getting healthier, we are still seeing signi cant increases in obesity and diabetes. Using data from the 1994/1995, 1996/1997, 1998/1999 and 2000/2001 National Population Health Survey and the 2000/2001 Canadian Community Health Survey, Millar and Young demonstrated both an increasing incidence and prevalence of diabetes associated with increases in obesity and physical inactivity.3 Obesity in Canada varies twofold between the provinces,4 and as Lix and colleagues demonstrate in this issue of Health Reports, obesity differs between those living in the north and the south of Canada.5 Using self-reported data obtained from the Canadian Community Health Surveys in 2000/2001 and 2005/2006 for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal respondents from northern Canada (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut) and southern Canada, Lix and colleagues found multiple differences between northern and southern Canadian Aboriginal populations with respect to obesity, smoking, drinking and physical activity. Changes over the ve-year period between surveys indicate a growing gap between the northern and southern Aboriginal residents on many risk factors and a rapidly worsening health status among northern Canadian Aboriginal residents. Given the increased odds associated with obesity of developing a range of chronic diseases including asthma, arthritis, heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes, the growing prevalence of overweight and obesity in Canada is de nitely cause for concern, especially in some high-risk populations.4" @default.
