Exploring relationships between household crowding and health in two First Nations communities
Prevalence and predictors of self-rated mental health among farm and non-farm adult rural residents of Saskatchewan
Prevalence and regional distribution of obstructive sleep apnea in Canada
Association between insomnia and four domains of health based on an Indigenous Medicine Wheel
Housing inadequacy in rural Saskatchewan First Nation communities
Housing and house conditions on First Nation communities in Canada are important determinants of health for community members. Little is known about rural First Nation housing in the Canadian Prairies. The aim was to survey houses in two rural First Nation communities in Saskatchewan, Canada to understand housing conditions, prevalence of mold/mildew and dampness, and sources, locations and frequency of mold and dampness. Surveys were conducted w…
Intergenerational transfer of occupational risks on family farms
BACKGROUND: Cultures of safety in farm work settings are under the authority of a responsible owner-operator, who establishes rules, attitudes, and behaviors for farm work practices. This novel analysis provides new evidence to show that risks that can lead to injury and are commonly practiced on Canadian farms are indeed transferred between generations. METHODS: Baseline data were provided by representatives from eligible and consenting farms (n…
Associations between Housing Factors and Respiratory Symptoms in Two Saskatchewan First Nations Communities
Inadequate housing is commonplace in First Nations in Canada, often leading to environmental impacts on housing such as dampness and mold. First Nations communities suffer from a higher prevalence of respiratory-related health conditions than the general Canadian population. There is limited Canadian literature evaluating the relationship between housing factors and the respiratory health of adults within First Nations communities. This study was…
Domestic Risk Factors for Atopic and Non-Atopic Asthma in First Nations Children Living in Saskatchewan, Canada
Both allergic and non-allergic asthma phenotypes are thought to vary by specific housing and other indoor environmental conditions. This study evaluated risk factors for allergic asthma phenotypes in First Nation children, an understudied Canadian population with recognized increased respiratory morbidity. We conducted a cross-sectional survey with a clinical component to assess the respiratory health of 351 school-age children living on two rura…
Bronchitis and Its Associated Risk Factors in First Nations Children
Respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis and pneumonia, are common in First Nations children in Canada. The objectives are to determine prevalence and associated risk factors of bronchitis in children 6-17 years old residing in two reserve communities. The cross-sectional study was conducted in 2013 and children from two First Nations reserve communities participated. The outcome was ever presence/absence of bronchitis. Logistic regression analys…
Racial discrimination and depression among on-reserve First Nations people in rural Saskatchewan
Factors Associated With the Prevalence of Prostate Cancer in Rural Saskatchewan
PURPOSE: Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Canadian males, and it is the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths in men. Some studies suggest that occupational exposure may be associated with prostate cancer. However, the etiology of prostate cancer is ambiguous. The purpose of this study was to assess the rural occupational exposure, including farming, as a determinant of prostate cancer in rural men. We investiga…
Actual Body Weight and the Parent’s Perspective of Child’s Body Weight among Rural Canadian Children
The prevalence of being overweight during childhood continues to increase in the USA and Canada and children living in rural areas are more at risk than their urban counterparts. The objectives of this study were to evaluate how well the parent's perception of their child's weight status correlated with objectively measured weight status among a group of rural children and to identify predictors of inaccurate parental perceptions of child's weigh…
Exploring Diversity in Socioeconomic Inequalities in Health Among Rural Dwelling Canadians
PURPOSE: To describe the patterning of socioeconomic inequalities in health among rural dwelling women and men in a Canadian province, exploring diversity in associations by measure of socioeconomic position, health outcome, and demographic characteristics. METHODS: Baseline data from the Saskatchewan Rural Health Study was used, an ongoing prospective cohort study examining the health of rural people in Saskatchewan, Canada. Of the 11,004 eligib…
Exploring policy driven systemic inequities leading to differential access to care among Indigenous populations with obstructive sleep apnea in Canada
In order to confirm initial findings, further investigations are required in other Canadian jurisdictions. Moreover, as other clinical conditions could share similar features of health care access and provision of health benefits coverage, this policy analysis could be replicated in other provincial and territorial health care systems across Canada, and other settler nations where there are differential health coverage arrangements for Indigenous…
Income adequacy and education associated with the prevalence of obesity in rural Saskatchewan, Canada
Home location was associated with obesity prevalence in rural Saskatchewan and modified the influence of income adequacy, but not the influence of education, on obesity. Adults not living on farm had an increased risk of obesity and showed a significant impact of income adequacy on obesity
Do discrimination, residential school attendance and cultural disruption add to individual-level diabetes risk among Aboriginal people in Canada
Prevalence, risk factors and co-morbidities of diabetes among adults in rural Saskatchewan
While known diabetes risk factors are important determinants of diabetes in the agricultural zones of Saskatchewan, on-farm residence is protective and appears related to increased outdoor activities. In contrast, we have now shown for the first time that exposure to insecticides is an independent risk factor for diabetes among men in rural Canada
Socioeconomic Status and Injury in a Cohort of Saskatchewan Farmers
PURPOSE: To estimate the strength of relationships between socioeconomic status and injury in a large Canadian farm population. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study of 4,769 people from 2,043 farms in Saskatchewan, Canada. Participants reported socioeconomic exposures in 2007 and were followed for the occurrence of injury through 2009 (27 months). The relative hazards of time to first injury according to baseline socioeconomic status …
Exposure to Multiple Pesticides and Risk of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Men from Six Canadian Provinces
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) has been linked to several agricultural exposures, including some commonly used pesticides. Although there is a significant body of literature examining the effects of exposure to individual pesticides on NHL, the impact of exposure to multiple pesticides or specific pesticide combinations has not been explored in depth. Data from a six-province Canadian case-control study conducted between 1991 and 1994 were analyzed t…
Trends in Farm Fatalities, Saskatchewan, Canada
Impact of Long Farm Working Hours on Child Safety Practices in Agricultural Settings
OBJECTIVES: To characterize working hours of adult farm owner-operators and their spouses by season, and to examine associations between working hours and farm safety practices affecting children. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of cross-sectional survey data collected as part of an existing study of injury and its determinants. RESULTS: Owner-operators reported a median of 60 to 70 hours of farm work per week during warm weather month…
Synergy of BMI and family history on diabetes
Objective To examine the joint effect of family history and BMI on diabetes. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting A rural community in Saskatchewan, Canada. Subjects The analysis was based on data from 2081 adults, 18–79 years of age, who participated in the Humboldt Study conducted in 2003. Doctor-diagnosed diabetes and family history of diabetes of biological parents and siblings were self-reported. Body weight and height were objectively meas…
Percutaneous injuries among dental professionals in Washington State
