چکیده
• Behavioural factors, such as prevalence of smoking and obesity, are key determinants of health status and have an impact on the health of individuals now and into the future. Compared with other countries, Canada has made significant progress in reducing the prevalence of smoking, having one of the lowest rates among countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and also one of the largest decreases in prevalence since 2000. However, the prevalence of obesity and overweight in Canada, especially among children, is higher than in many OECD countries. Canada is one of the few countries with rates of obesity and overweight among both boys and girls greater than 25%.
