This analysis examines self-perceived health among Canadian adolescents aged 12 to 17, and factors associated with ratings of very good/excellent health.
The data are from cycle 1.1 of the 2000/01 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS), conducted by Statistics Canada. The sample consisted of 12,715 adolescents aged 12 to 17.
Cross-tabulations were used to estimate the prevalence of various characteristics and health behaviours for the 12-to-14 and 15-to-17 age groups. Multiple logistic regression was used to model associations between very good/excellent self-reported health and selected characteristics.
In 2000/01, nearly 30% of 12- to 17-year-olds rated their health as poor, fair or good. At ages 15 to 17, girls were less likely than boys to report very good/excellent health and were more likely to have a chronic condition and to have experienced depression in the past year. When other factors were taken into account, the odds of reporting very good/excellent health were significantly lower for teens who were daily smokers, episodic heavy drinkers, physically inactive during leisure time, infrequent consumers of fruit and vegetables, or obese, compared with teens who did not have these characteristics.
本分析研究了12至17岁加拿大青少年的自我认知健康状况，以及与健康状况评为“非常好/优秀”相关的因素。
数据来自加拿大统计局开展的2000/01年加拿大社区健康调查（CCHS）的第1.1轮调查。样本包括12715名12至17岁的青少年。
交叉表用于估计12至14岁和15至17岁年龄组各种特征和健康行为的患病率。多元逻辑回归用于对自我报告的“非常好/优秀”健康状况与选定特征之间的关联进行建模。
在2000/01年，近30%的12至17岁青少年将自己的健康状况评为差、一般或良好。在15至17岁的青少年中，女孩报告“非常好/优秀”健康状况的可能性低于男孩，并且在过去一年中更有可能患有慢性病和经历过抑郁。在考虑其他因素后，与没有这些特征的青少年相比，每天吸烟、偶尔大量饮酒、休闲时间缺乏身体活动、很少食用水果和蔬菜或肥胖的青少年报告“非常好/优秀”健康状况的几率显著更低。
