  • Who thrives in Canada? An Examination of social factors, healthcare access, and immigration status

    Open AccessSonia S Anand, Shrina Patel et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    High-income countries like Canada report some of the worlds’ highest life-satisfaction levels, yet less is known about how life satisfaction varies by race and immigration status. This study investigates the factors that influence subjective well-being among 8,063 adults from the Canadian Alliance of Healthy Hearts and Minds study recruited between 2014 and 2018, including a subset of 2,142 immigrants. Measures of demographic, socioeconomic, heal…

  • Performing Arts and Affordances

    Open AccessCamille Zimmermann, Paul Poirier et al.ARTICLEThe British Journal of Aesthetics2025Citada por: 1Referencias: 26

    We suggest that performing arts help us to understand how to use embodied experience and agency to resist and transform oppressive social practices and environments. We draw from dance studies, 4E (embodied, embedded, extended, and enactive) cognition, and feminist epistemology to reveal connections between performing arts, embodied knowing, and epistemic and social justice. Epistemic injustice consists in being unduly undermined in one's capacit…

Thematic analysis was conducted following a four-p…

  • Prevalence and determinants of hypertension in the adult Inuit population of Nunavik (northern Quebec, Canada)

    Open AccessJanie Allaire, Benoît Lévesque et al.ARTICLECanadian Journal of Public Health2023Referencias: 26

    This survey revealed a high prevalence of hypertension among young Nunavimmiut adults in 2017 and the need to improve hypertension diagnosis and treatment in the region. Curbing obesity and alcohol consumption, two actionable determinants of hypertension, will require improving food security and addressing the consequences of historical trauma linked to colonization

  • Canadian healthcare workers’ mental health and health behaviours during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessVincent Gosselin Boucher, Brook L Haight et al.ARTICLECanadian Journal of Public Health2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 38

    Results demonstrate that the impacts of COVID-19 on HCWs' mental health and health behaviours were significant, and varied by sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., sex, age, income)

  • Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease

    T M Powell-Wiley, Paul Poirier et al.ARTICLECirculation2021

    The global obesity epidemic is well established, with increases in obesity prevalence for most countries since the 1980s. Obesity contributes directly to incident cardiovascular risk factors, including dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep disorders. Obesity also leads to the development of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular disease mortality independently of other cardiovascular risk factors. More recent data highlight ab…

  • Communication as Socially Extended Active Inference

    Rémi Tison, Paul Poirier et al.ARTICLEEcological Psychology2021

    In this paper, we introduce an ecological account of communication according to which acts of communication are active inferences achieved by affecting the behavior of a target organism via the modification of its field of affordances. Constraining a target organism’s behavior constitutes a mechanism of socially extended active inference, allowing organisms to proactively regulate their inner states through the behavior of other organisms. In thi…

  • Socioeconomic status and risk of cardiovascular disease in 20 low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries

    Open AccessAnnika Rosengren, Andrew Smyth et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2019

    Background Socioeconomic status is associated with differences in risk factors for cardiovascular disease incidence and outcomes, including mortality. However, it is unclear whether the associations between cardiovascular disease and common measures of socioeconomic status—wealth and education—differ among high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries, and, if so, why these differences exist. We explored the association between education a…

  • Canadian Alliance for Healthy Hearts and Minds

  • Availability, affordability, and consumption of fruits and vegetables in 18 countries across income levels

    Open AccessVictoria Miller, Semir Yusuf et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2016

    BACKGROUND: Several international guidelines recommend the consumption of two servings of fruits and three servings of vegetables per day, but their intake is thought to be low worldwide. We aimed to determine the extent to which such low intake is related to availability and affordability. METHODS: We assessed fruit and vegetable consumption using data from country-specific, validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires in the Prospe…

  • Wealth and cardiovascular health

    Open AccessBenjamin Palafox, Martin Mckee et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2016

    Inequality in hypertension management outcomes decreased as countries became richer, but the considerable variation in patterns of wealth-related inequality - even among countries at similar levels of economic development - underscores the importance of health systems in improving hypertension management for all. These findings show that some, but not all, countries, including those with limited resources, have been able to achieve more equitable…

  • Is severe obesity a cardiovascular health concern in the inuit population

    Open AccessSamantha Kellett, Paul Poirier et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2012

    Objectives: Obesity is rising globally and severe obesity (SO) [body mass index (BMI) = 40 kg/m 2 or = 35 kg/m 2 with co‐morbidity] is growing at a much faster rate. Amongst the Inuit, evolution of SO remains unknown. We investigated whether the level of SO changed and whether the cardio‐metabolic profile improved or deteriorated in Nunavik Inuit between 1992 and 2004. Methods: SO subjects were selected from two comparable population‐based studie…
