Chronic Diseases in Canada Vol 31 n1 Abstract Introduction: Rates of obesity are higher among Canada’s Aboriginal First Nations populations than among non-First Nations populations We studied obesity and obesity-related illness in a Manitoba First Nation community
Obesity Management and Indigenous Peoples Reflection on assumptions about seeming apathy may con-textualize patient motivations, where deep exploration of one’s own perceptions, attitudes and behaviours toward Indigenous patients may uncover anti-Indigenous senti-ment implicit in healthcare practices or systems
The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes among First Nations and . . . Indigenous people in Canada bear a disproportionate burden of diabetes due to the complex interaction of multiple determinants of health, many of which are rooted in colonial processes and structures that have altered socio-economic, political and cultural systems
Indigenous communities and diabetes - Diabetes Canada Canada's Indigenous populations continuously demonstrate great strength and resilience However, these communities face greater health challenges than most, including an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes
Diabetes in First Nations and Inuit Communities The Government of Canada is committed to reducing the prevalence of diabetes and its complications in First Nations and Inuit communities across Canada
Trends in cardiovascular care and event rates among First . . . - CMAJ To determine whether First Nations people have experienced similar declines, we compared time trends in rates of cardiac event and disease management among First Nations people with diabetes and other people with diabetes in Ontario, Canada
Obesity in Canada – Prevalence among aboriginal populations Because there is no one data source for obesity among all First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada, this section provides a picture of obesity prevalence in Aboriginal populations by summarizing the findings from a number of relevant surveys (see Box 3)
Pathways to Health Equity for Aboriginal Peoples: Diabetes Obesity . . . Obesity rates are increasing in Canada, and the problem is prevalent among First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities Obesity is a serious health concern, as it increases a person's risk of developing diabetes and other chronic conditions, such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease and cancer
Understanding chronic disease and the role for traditional approaches . . . This review examines the impact of chronic disease (specifically diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and chronic respiratory disease) on the Aboriginal peoples of Canada, and the risk factors that underlie the prevalence of these diseases
