Ontario Average

Health means not only the absence of disease or injury

but also physical, mental and social well-being. The

indicators below define the perceptions of a self-reporting

population, 12 years and over. Perceived life stress refers

to the amount of stress in the persons life, on most days.

A sense of belonging to the local community shows a high

correlation with physical and mental health. (Statistics

Canada definitions)

The red line through

the bar indicates theOntario value for that

indicator. The bar

length is the indicator

value for the Brant

County Health Unit

Area population. For

example, 59.3% of the

Ontario population

report that their

perceived health is very

good / excellent while

55.3 percent of the

survey of population of

the Brant County Health

Unit has reported very

good / excellent health.

Definitions of reported medical conditions are based on

World Health Organization (WHO) and Health Canada

Guidelines. The differences in the indicators show that

the medical conditions for most of the reported diseases

were much higher in Brant County than the provincial aver-

age. Low birth weight is a long time indicator of possible

developmental delays and disabilities. Low birth weight is

related to socio-economic factors, including low income,

smoking by the mother during pregnancy, poor diet,

pregnancy-induced hypertension, and multiple births.*

The red line through

is higher than across

Ontario reporting

percentage at 17.1%.

Infant mortality rate (IMR) is the number of newborns

dying under a year of age divided by the number of live

births during a year times 1000. The infant mortality rate

is commonly used as part of a standard of living evalua-

tion and improvements result from better basic care and

high technology advances in neonatal care. Life expec-

tancy is the number of years a person would be expected

to live, starting from birth (for life expectancy at birth),

based on age- and sex-specific mortality rates in the past

for a given observation period.

NOTE: Each graph

should be readindividually and will not

relate to another on the

page.

The Infant Mortality

Rate was higher than

Ontario at 5.4%. In

Brant County Health

district, male infants

had a higher IMR than

the province while

female infants had

a lower IMR. Life

expectancy at birth

was lower in the Brant

County Health District

than for the province

as a whole. Life

expectancy at 65 was

16.2 more years for

males and 19.6 more

years for females, lower

than the province at

17.2 and 20.4 years

respectively.

Death rate indicators are based on three consecutive

years of death data, summed and divided by three.

The average number is then divided by the population

estimate taken in the middle of the year. The rates are

age-standardized and are per 100,000 population.
