Standardized to the 1991 Canadian population;

†

the unweighted n refers to the number of survey respondents (actual observations);

‡

the weighted n is the survey sample weighted up to the community- dwelling Ontario population (does not include people in institutions, in the Armed Forces, or living in remote communities);

estimate should be treated with caution due to high sampling variability (coefficient of variation between 16.5 and 33.0). Data sources: OHS II, Ontario Health Insurance Plan, RPDB.
