Toward a healthy future : second report on the health of Canadians / prepared by the Federal, Provincial and Territorial Advisory Committee on Population Health. : H39-468/1999E-PDF

"As the title suggests, this is the second report to summarize and comment on the state of the nation’s health. The first report was released in September 1996. The current report differs from the first one in several ways. It puts more emphasis on the influence of gender and socioeconomic status on health. Chapters on healthy child development and biology and genetics have been added in order to paint a picture that includes all of the major determinants of health. The section on the physical environment has been expanded to provide a better understanding of how it impacts on the health of all Canadians. ... More detailed statistics and information are provided in the Statistical Report on the Health of Canadians (1999), published under separate cover by the ACPH."--Preface, p.3 of 248.
