Contexte Au Canada, l’immigrant récent est souvent en meilleure santé que le non-immigrant. L’état de santé des sous-groupes d’immigrants (ethniques, culturels, linguistiques) est moins bien connu. Méthode En utilisant des données de l’Enquête sur la santé dans les collectivités canadiennes 2005 (Cycle 3.1), les associations entre trois caractéristiques des immigrants (1-temps écoulé depuis l’immigration, 2-être une minorité visible, 3-parler une langue officielle) et trois indicateurs de...

Aim We evaluated the ages and causes of death contributing to life expectancy gaps between economically advantaged and disadvantaged Francophones and Anglophones of Montréal, a Canadian metropolitan centre. Subject and Methods We partitioned the life expectancy gap at birth between socioeconomically disadvantaged and advantaged Francophones and Anglophones of Montréal (Québec) into age and cause of death components for two periods (1989–1993, 2002–2006). Changes in the contributions of...

This study investigated temporal trends in heterogeneity of foetal growth restriction across neighbourhood deprivation levels for two culturally distinct communities (Anglophones and Francophones) in a North American metropolitan centre. Inequalities in foetal growth restriction related to deprivation fell from 1989 to 2008 for Francophones, but initial improvements for Anglophones later reversed with a rise in poor foetal growth in the most materially disadvantaged and, unexpectedly,...

Objectives We evaluated temporal and regional inequalities in adverse birth outcomes between Anglophones and Francophones of a Canadian province. Methods Odds ratios and rate differences in preterm birth (PTB, <37 gestational weeks) and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) birth were computed for Anglophones relative to Francophones for singleton live births in Québec from 1981 to 2008 (N = 2,292,237), adjusting for maternal characteristics. Trends over time and residential region were...

Objectives Infant mortality in minority populations of Canada is poorly understood, despite evidence of ethnic inequality in other countries. We studied infant mortality in different linguistic groups of Quebec, and assessed how language and deprivation impacted rates over time. Study design Population-level study of vital statistics data for 1,985,287 live births and 10,283 infant deaths reported in Quebec from 1989 through 2012. Methods We computed infant mortality rates for French,...

Purpose Few studies evaluate language-group differences in suicide mortality. This study assessed the suicide mortality gap between Francophones and Anglophones of Quebec, Canada according to age, sex, method, region and socioeconomic deprivation. Methods Suicide decedents were extracted from the Quebec death file for 1989–2007 (N = 24,465). Age- and sex-specific suicide mortality rates were calculated for four periods (1989–1993, 1994–1998, 1999–2003, 2004–2007) for Francophones and...

Objective Anglophones and Allophones in Quebec (Canada) have lower mortality than Francophones, despite being linguistic minorities. This study assesses whether (1) language is a risk factor for mortality after accounting for migrant composition and (2) interprovincial migrants differ in mortality with respect to Quebec-born individuals. Methods We analyzed death records between 2004 and 2008 from Quebec (all-cause and main causes) and population data from the 2006 census to estimate...

Purpose. Inequality in use of fetal autopsy is poorly understood, despite the importance of autopsy in establishing the cause of stillbirth for future prevention. We examined fetal autopsy rates between linguistic minorities in Quebec, Canada, and assessed trends over three decades. Methods. Using registry data on 11,992 stillbirths from 1981–2011, we calculated fetal autopsy rates for Francophones, Anglophones, and Allophones by decade. Results. We found lower fetal autopsy rates for...

Language is an important determinant of health, but analyses of linguistic inequalities in mortality are scant, especially for Canadian linguistic groups with European roots. We evaluated the life expectancy gap between the Francophone majority and Anglophone minority of Québec, Canada, both over time and across major provincial areas. Arriaga’s method was used to estimate the age and cause of death groups contributing to changes in the life expectancy gap at birth between 1989–1993 and...

Objectives We assessed trends in stillbirth over time for Francophones and Anglophones of Quebec, a large Canadian province with publically funded health care and an English-speaking minority. Methods We calculated stillbirth rates for Francophones and Anglophones, and estimated hazard ratios (HR) by decade from 1981 to 2010, adjusting for maternal characteristics. We analyzed temporal trends by gestational interval and cause of fetal death. Results Stillbirth rates decreased in Quebec...
