The Food Source Contribution Table (FSCT) provides estimates of how much various food groups and subgroups contribute to Canadians’ intakes of energy and selected nutrients using data collected in the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) - Nutrition. Two different datasets are available....

This report provides the descriptive epidemiology of active tuberculosis (TB) disease in Canada from 2008 to 2018 with a specific focus on 2018, including the incidence of drug-resistant TB disease. Treatment outcomes, including the success rate of TB treatment from 2007 to 2017, are also examined.

The Nutrition Surveillance Data Tool presents usual intakes of energy, nutrients and other dietary components using data collected in the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey – Nutrition (CCHS – Nutrition). The goal is to complement the full usual intake dataset, also provided below, by...

The Food Consumption Table (FCT) provides estimates of daily intakes of foods (means and percentiles) obtained using data from the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) Nutrition. Estimates were generated at three different food grouping levels based on the food group list from the Bureau...

Radon (Rn-222) is the second leading cause of lung cancer after tobacco smoking. It can easily move through small spaces in soils and other materials, allowing it to enter buildings and accumulate to levels that can pose a health risk. Health Canada recommends that all Canadians test their home...
