Household Crowding and Food Insecurity Among Inuit Families With School-Aged Children in the Canadian Arctic
Objectives. We examined the relation of household crowding to food insecurity among Inuit families with school-aged children in Arctic Quebec. Methods. We analyzed data collected between October 2005 and February 2010 from 292 primary caregiver–child dyads from 14 Inuit communities. We collected information about household conditions, food security, and family socioeconomic characteristics by interviews. We used logistic regression models to exam…
Household crowding is associated with higher allostatic load among the Inuit
BACKGROUND: Household crowding is an important problem in some aboriginal communities that is reaching particularly high levels among the circumpolar Inuit. Living in overcrowded conditions may endanger health via stress pathophysiology. This study examines whether higher household crowding is associated with stress-related physiological dysregulations among the Inuit. METHODS: Cross-sectional data on 822 Inuit adults were taken from the 2004 Qan…

Is severe obesity a cardiovascular health concern in the inuit population
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…
Strengthening integrated research and capacity development within the Caribbean region
BACKGROUND: The Caribbean region, like other developing regions of the world, faces significant challenges in conducting research, especially in the context of limited resource capacities and capabilities. Further, due to its diverse and multiple island states, research capacity is scattered and unevenly spread within the region. The Caribbean EcoHealth Programme (CEHP) is a research program that is structured to improve the capacity and capabili…
N -3 Fatty acid intake from marine food products among Quebecers
Objective To quantify marine food product consumption and EPA + DHA intake among Quebecers, and to compare the results with the most recent recommendations. Design Data were obtained from a representative cross-sectional telephone survey (June 2006). Intakes of marine food product species and EPA + DHA were estimated from a validated FFQ on the consumption of marine food products during the previous month. Prevalence of fish oil consumption in th…
Plasma n -3 fatty acids and psychological distress in aboriginal Cree Indians (Canada)
Objective To examine the relationship between psychological distress (PD) and plasma n -3 long-chain (LC) PUFA, i.e. EPA, docosapentaenoic acid (DPA n -3) and DHA. Design Population-based, cross-sectional Santé-Québec Health Survey (1991). Participants were categorized as high-level PD if they scored over the 80th percentile of the PD Index in the Santé-Québec Survey; non-distressed subjects were those who scored less than this cut-off. Associati…
Neonatal Vitamin A Deficiency and Its Impact on Acute Respiratory Infections among Preschool Inuit Children
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…

Carbon monoxide in indoor ice skating rinks
We evaluated alveolar carbon monoxide (CO) levels of 122 male, adult hockey players active in recreational leagues of the Quebec City region (Canada), before and after 10 weekly 90-minute games in 10 different rinks. We also determined exposure by quantifying the average CO level in the rink during the games. Other variables documented included age, pulmonary function, aerobic capacity, and smoking status. Environmental concentrations varied from…
Health hazards associated with windsurfing on polluted water
We documented the risks associated with windsurfing on sewage polluted water. Seventy-nine windsurfers and 41 controls were studied over a nine-day period for occurrence of symptoms of gastroenteritis, otitis, conjunctivitis, and skin infection. Relative risks were 2.9 for occurrence of one or more of these symptoms and 5.5 for symptoms of gastroenteritis. Relative risk increased with the reported number of falls into the water
