Circumpolar Health Atlas
Backcountry Travel Emergencies in Arctic Canada
Residents in the Canadian Arctic regularly travel in remote, backcountry areas. This can pose risks for injuries and death, and create challenges for emergency responders and health systems. We aimed to describe the extent and characteristics of media-reported backcountry travel emergencies in two Northern Canadian territories (Nunavut and Northwest Territories). A case-series of all known incidents between 2004 and 2013 was established by identi…
High protein and cholesterol intakes associated with emergence of glucose intolerance in a low-risk Canadian Inuit population
Objective The rate of type 2 diabetes mellitus among Inuit is 12·2 % in individuals over 50 years of age, similar to the Canadian prevalence. Given marked dietary transitions in the Arctic, we evaluated the dietary and other correlates of not previously diagnosed glucose intolerance, defined as type 2 diabetes mellitus, impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance. Design Cross-sectional analyses were limited to adults with a completed …

Sex ratios in the arctic—do man‐made chemicals matter
OBJECTIVES: The objective was to analyze the variation of secondary sex ratios across the Arctic and to estimate the time trend. The rationale for this was claims in news media that, in the Arctic, sex ratios have become reduced due to exposure to anthropogenic contaminants in the environment. METHODS: Data was collected from 27 circumpolar jurisdictions from public websites of the eight Arctic countries. Sex ratios at birth were calculated for e…
Divergent body mass index trajectories between aboriginal and non‐aboriginal canadians 1994–2009—an exploration of age, period, and cohort effects
Cohort effects may be responsible for the divergent BMI trajectories between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians born in the 1960s and 1970s. Aboriginal Canadians, particularly of more recent-born cohorts, experienced faster increases in BMI from 1994 to 2009 than non-Aboriginal Canadians, suggesting that prevalence of obesity will continue to rise in this population without intervention
Prevalence, risk factors and awareness of albuminuria on a Canadian First Nation
The independent association between BMI and albuminuria has not been previously reported among indigenous populations. There is a high prevalence of albuminuria in this Canadian First Nation population; the high proportion of patients with diabetes and undiagnosed kidney disease demonstrates the need for screening, education and intervention to halt the progression and development of albuminuria and ultimately ESRD and CVD
Global Health—A Circumpolar Perspective
Global health should encompass circumpolar health if it is to transcend the traditional approach of the “rich North” assisting the “poor South.” Although the eight Arctic states are among the world’s most highly developed countries, considerable health disparities exist among regions across the Arctic, as well as between northern and southern regions and between indigenous and nonindigenous populations within some of these states. While sharing c…
Does sitting height ratio affect estimates of obesity prevalence among Canadian Inuit? results from the 2007–2008 Inuit health survey
OBJECTIVES: High sitting height ratio (SHR) is a characteristic commonly associated with Inuit morphology. Inuit are described as having short leg lengths and high trunk-to-stature proportions such that cutoffs for obesity derived from European populations may not adequately describe thresholds of disease risk. Further, high SHR may help explain the reduced impact of BMI on metabolic risk factors among Inuit relative to comparison populations. Th…
Socio-economic Patterns of Obesity Among Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal Canadians
The health of Arctic populations
The objective of the study was to examine whether cold climate is associated with poorer health in diverse Arctic populations. With climate change increasingly affecting the Arctic, the association between climate and population health status is of public health significance. The mean January and July temperatures were determined for 27 Arctic regions based on weather station data for the period 1961–1990 and their association with a variety of h…
Associations of television viewing, physical activity and dietary behaviours with obesity in aboriginal and non-aboriginal Canadian youth
Objective To determine associations of diet, physical activity and television (TV) viewing time with obesity among aboriginal and non-aboriginal youth in conjunction with socio-economic variables. Design Cross-sectional study of differences between aboriginal and non-aboriginal groups and associations between lifestyle and socio-economic factors with obesity were examined. Setting Population data from the Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 2·…

Prevalence of Obesity and Its Metabolic Correlates Among the Circumpolar Inuit in 3 Countries
Objectives. We investigated the prevalence of obesity and the metabolic correlates of different levels of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference among the Inuit in 3 countries. Methods. Data from 4 surveys of Inuit in Canada, Greenland, and Alaska conducted during 1990–2001 were pooled, with a total sample size of 2545 participants. These data were compared with data from a Canadian population of predominantly European origin. Results. Usi…
One step forward
The time is ready for international co-operation in circumpolar health to move one step forward. The emergence of cheap telecommunication and several well established research institutions that focus on various aspects of health in the Arctic have made it possible to pursue international co-operation also outside the context of the triennial congresses of circumpolar health. In a sort of grassroots movement, but also inspired by the values of the…

Factor analysis of ethnic variation in the multiple metabolic (insulin resistance) syndrome in three Canadian populations
This study describes and compares the pattern of risk factor clustering in multiple metabolic (insulin resistance) syndrome (MMS) in three Canadian ethnic groups (Indians, Inuit, non-Aboriginal Canadians). Three cross-sectional, population-based sample surveys in three contiguous regions of Canada were conducted during the late 1980s and early 1990s (Ontario, Manitoba, Northwest Territories). The combined dataset consists of 873 Cree-Ojibwa India…

Plasma phospholipid fatty acids in the central Canadian Arctic
As part of the Keewatin Health Assessment Study, a comprehensive health interview and examination survey of Inuit and non-Inuit in the central Canadian Arctic during 1990-91, plasma samples were analyzed for phospholipid fatty acid composition. Compared to non-Inuit, the Inuit have reduced levels of dihomo-gamma-linoleic (DGLA) and arachidonic acid (ratios of 0.41 and 0.46) and the sum of all n-6 fatty acids (ratio of 0.65), but increased level o…
Determinants of breastfeeding in four Canadian Ojibwa communities
A prospective cohort study was conducted to determine the patterns of breastfeeding and factors associated with breastfeeding choice and duration among Canadian Aboriginal (Ojibwa) women from third trimester to 12 weeks postpartum. The survey included demographic, obstetric and infant feeding information, measures of “breastfeeding beliefs,” “breastfeeding confidence,” and “referent support.” Thirty-six Treaty-status women, living in or near four…

Lay-Professional Conflict in a Canadian Community Health Center
Early in 1974, the entire medical staff resigned from the Regina Community Clinic over a dispute with the lay board of directors. The turbulent history of this pioneer consumer-sponsored clinic is reviewed and documented. The affair provides a case study in the conflict between the traditional professional dominance of doctors and the demand of consumers for a role in decision-making in areas of health care delivery
