| Measuring Trends in Health Inequalities in Ottawa, 2019 |
|
The Urban Public Health Network (UPHN) measures health inequalities in Canada’s cities and lays a foundation for regular monitoring under the project banner “Measuring Trends in Health Inequalities in Cities” (MTHIC). A total of 29 health indicators from 2011 to 2015 were examined including 16 on hospitalizations/day surgeries and 13 self-reported indicators, such as COPD hospitalization and day surgeries for dental caries (Measuring Trends in Health Inequalities in Cities, 2019). The Ottawa-specific report summarizes results of health inequality by income groups and trend over time. Households in the lowest income quintile had significantly worse health compared to the highest quintile on 20 out of the 29 health indicators. A significant increase in health inequality from 2006-2010 to 2011-2015 was seen in hospitalizations for COPD, congestive heart failure, all injury combined, and falls injury.
