Canada’s population estimates, third quarter 2022
Canada’s population was estimated at 39,292,355 people on October 1, 2022, an increase of 362,453 people (+0.9%) from July 1, 2022. This was the highest quarterly population growth rate since the second quarter of 1957 (+1.2%). At the time, Canada’s population was 16.7 million people and it increased by 198,000 people. This rapid population growth was related to the high number of births during the post-war baby boom and the high immigration of refugees following the Hungarian Revolution in 1956.
Factors associated with eye care in Canada
From 2016 to 2019, 75% of people diagnosed with diabetes visited an eye care professional during the previous year. While it is well known that diabetes is a condition that requires regular visits to an eye specialist, less is known about the need for visits by people without diabetes. The article “Sociodemographic and endogenous factors associated with access to eye care in Canada, 2016 to 2019” used data from two cycles of the Canadian Health Measures Survey to assess the importance of factors, such as the presence of an eye disease or encouragement by a doctor, and sociodemographic variables to the likelihood of having visited an eye specialist in the previous year.
