Abstract

Background: First Nations people were reported to have a shorter life expectancy and were more likely than their non-Indigenous counterparts to die prematurely from avoidable causes.

Methods: Using the 2006 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort (CanCHEC), the number and rates of deaths for a 10-year follow-up period for on- and off-reserve First Nations people and the non-Indigenous population were calculated by sex, age and region.

Results: According to the 2006 CanCHEC data, First Nations people showed higher age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) compared with the non-Indigenous population. On-reserve First Nations people showed higher ASMRs than off-reserve First Nations people. First Nations people's excess mortality, compared with their non-Indigenous counterparts, was caused by deaths from diabetes, heart diseases, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, unintentional injuries, and intentional injuries (suicide and assault). The mortality differential between First Nations people and the non-Indigenous population was found to be more pronounced among younger age groups.

Interpretation: First Nations people's excess mortality can be better understood by examining specific causes for specific population groups, based on age, sex, being on- or off-reserve, and region.

2006年至2016年第一民族的死亡率。

背景:据报道，土著人民的预期寿命较短，比非土著同胞更有可能因可避免的原因过早死亡。方法:利用2006年加拿大人口普查健康与环境队列(CanCHEC)，按性别、年龄和地区计算保留地内和保留地外第一民族和非土著人口10年随访期间的死亡人数和死亡率。结果:根据2006年CanCHEC的数据，与非土著人口相比，第一民族的年龄标准化死亡率(ASMRs)更高。保留地内原住民的asmr高于保留地外原住民。与非土著同胞相比，第一民族的高死亡率是由于糖尿病、心脏病、慢性肝病和肝硬化、意外伤害和故意伤害(自杀和殴打)造成的。第一民族和非土著人口之间的死亡率差异在较年轻的年龄组中更为明显。解释:根据年龄、性别、在保护区内还是在保护区外以及所在地区，研究特定人群的具体原因，可以更好地了解原住民的高死亡率。
