TL;DR: Increased amounts of residential greenness were associated with reduced risks of dying from several common causes of death among urban Canadians, and evidence of inequalities was identified in terms of exposures to greenness and mortality risks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex relationships between greenness, air pollution, and mortality in a population-based Canadian cohort.
Dan L. Crouse,Lauren Pinault,Adele Balram,Michael Brauer,Richard T. Burnett,Randall V. Martin,Aaron van Donkelaar,Paul J. Villeneuve,Scott Weichenthal +8 more
TL;DR: The role of residential greenness in modifying associations between long-term exposures to PM2.5 and non-accidental and cardiovascular mortality in a national cohort of non-immigrant Canadian adults is investigated and it is found that residents in deprived neighbourhoods with high greenness benefitted by having more attenuated associations between PM2-5 and mortality than those living in deprived areas with less greenness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations between Living Near Water and Risk of Mortality among Urban Canadians.
Dan L. Crouse,Adele Balram,Perry Hystad,Lauren Pinault,Matilda van den Bosch,Hong Chen,Hong Chen,Daniel Rainham,Errol M. Thomson,Christopher H. Close,Aaron van Donkelaar,Randall V. Martin,Randall V. Martin,Richard Ménard,Alain Robichaud,Paul J. Villeneuve +15 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that living near blue spaces in urban areas has important benefits to health, but further work is needed to better understand the drivers of this association.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individual and community-level income and the risk of diabetes rehospitalization among women and men: a Canadian population-based cohort study
TL;DR: A population-based cohort study to describe associations between household and community-level income and rehospitalizations for types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus among Canadian women and men found positive, but insignificant associations between community- level poverty and odds of rehospitalization.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Impact of Rural Hospital Closures and Health Service Restructuring on Provincial- and Community-Level Patterns of Hospital Admissions in New Brunswick
TL;DR: Overall, rates and incidence of hospitalizations for ACSCs declined while admissions via ambulance remained largely unchanged, and regional variation decreased over time, with rural areas demonstrating the sharpest declines.
