In 2009, the life expectancy for Canadian women was 83 years of age compared to 79 years for men. Within the Aboriginal population however, there is quite a bit of variation. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have significantly poorer health and lower life expectancy than other Australians. How this change affects the comparability with previous CanCHECs life expectancy results is unknown. For Inuit, the probability of living to age 75 was 51% for males and 63% for females—25 and 21 percentage points lower than for non-Indigenous people. Incompletely enumerated reserves may affect the life expectancy estimates for First Nations people with Registered Indian status. https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/sdle/index.

Along with these factors, some people, for a variety of reasons, report their Aboriginal identity differently from one data collection period to another.Note 37 To improve comparability over time, trend analysis was restricted to the settlements and reserves that participated in all census and NHS cycles. This gap was larger than the 6-year gap found between Status Indians residing in British Columbia and other provincial residents,Note 11 but similar to the gap for Status Indians residing in AlbertaNote 12 and Manitoba.Note 32 For First Nations adults, gains in life expectancy from 1996 to 2011 were not as large as the gains for non-Indigenous adults. ...

In Australia, for example, aboriginal males had a life expectancy of 71.6 years in the period from 2015 to 2017 while non-aboriginal males were expected to live until 80.2 years of age. The extra cost of accessing health care has contributed to a growing life expectancy gap, as Australians living in … As a result, based on CanCHEC data and depending on the CanCHEC cycle, life expectancy estimates at age 1 are higher than official Statistics Canada life tables by about 2 to 2.5 years for females and 1.5 years for males.

These results were broadly similar to results of studies that used a geographic approach to calculate life expectancy in Inuit Nunangat.Note 34 Because of small numbers, statistical testing over time was not feasible, but point estimates suggest that life expectancy at age 20 has increased for Inuit since 1996. Closing the Gap: where we are failing The latest Closing the Gap report shows the Government is not making progress in many areas of Indigenous disadvantage. For the 1991, 1996, 2001 and 2006 censuses, a mandatory long-form questionnaire was administered to the non-institutional population (about one in five households), including individuals in collective dwellings (e.g., rooming houses and hotels) who usually live in Canada on Census Day.

In doing so, this study aims to fill an important information gap by providing a national picture of the life expectancy of First Nations people, Métis and Inuit. The estimated slope from each model was then transformed back to represent an APC. Otherwise, positive (increasing) and negative (decreasing) annual percent changes were considered as actual changes in life expectancy over time. In 2011, the life expectancy for the First Nations household population at age 1 was 72.5 years for males and 77.7 years for females. Aboriginal Canada’s demographic profile Footnote 3 reflects a young, quickly growing population, characterized by high birth rate and low life expectancy. The Métis and First Nations populations have similar life expectancies, at 73-74 years for men and 78-80 years for women. The changes in population reflect increased life expectancy, high birth rates, and more people identifying as Indigenous in the 2016 census. Statistics Canada.

Canada’s Aboriginal population is growing faster than the general population, increasing by 20.1 % from 2006 to 2011 (compared with 5.2 % growth rate in the non-Aboriginal population). In Canada, estimating the life expectancy of the Indigenous population is methodologically challenging since death registrations do not usually collect information on whether the deceased was Indigenous.Note 9Note 10 Past studies have estimated Indigenous life expectancy through record linkagesNote 11Note 12Note 13 and by applying geographic methodsNote 14Note 15 or projections.Note 16 Despite differences in definitions, geographic coverage and methodology, these studies have consistently shown that life expectancy is shorter for the Indigenous population compared with the rest of the Canadian population.Note 11Note 12Note 13, To date, a standardized approach has not been developed to estimate Indigenous life expectancy over time at the national level for First Nations people, Métis, and Inuit. We present data on the extent of the gap and elucidate the pattern of use and interpretations of the different estimates of the gap, between 2007 and 2012. Life expectancy is the average number of years a person at a given age would be expected to live if the mortality rates observed for a specific period persisted into the future. 91-547-XIE) Ottawa: Statistics Canada, 2015.

Chiang CL. Smylie J, Fell D, Ohlsson A, and the Joint Working Group on First Nations, Indian, Inuit, and Métis Infant Mortality of the Canadian Perinatal Surveillance System. Life expectancies for the First Nations, Métis and Inuit household populations were significantly lower than for the non-Indigenous household population (Table 1, Appendix Table A). In Canada for example, higher levels of chronic diseases, injuries and suicides combine to form an Indigenous life expectancy gap of 6 years or more . When data on Indigenous populations are compared across census and NHS cycles, several factors should be taken into account. At age 65, the gap in life expectancy between First Nations and non-Indigenous people was 4.6 (95% CI 3.8; 5.4) and 6.2 (95% CI 5.3; 7.2) years for men and women, respectively. Statistics Canada.

These findings underscore the importance of ongoing data development for routinely monitoring trends in longevity, which, in turn, can inform policy development and planning intended to advance health equity.Note 38 As more recent CanCHEC datasets become available, future research will enable longer-term trends in life expectancy to be continually monitored among First Nations people, Métis and Inuit in Canada. Life expectancy at birth among the status Indian population, for example, has gone up for males from 59.2 years in 1975 to 68.9 years in 2000, and for females from 65.9 years to 76.3. These gains in years were not statistically different than the gains for non-Indigenous men (APC = 0.47 95% CI 0.40; 0.53) and women (APC = 0.24 95% CI 0.06; 0.43). Among the Aboriginal population the Inuit have the lowest projected life expectancy in 2017, of 64 years for men and 73 years for women. There were no age restrictions for the 2006 and 2011 CanCHECs.

In general, the response rate for a mandatory census is very high; in 2006, the response rate for the long-form questionnaire was 93.5%.Note 21 In 2011, the long-form census was replaced by the voluntary 2011 National Household Survey (NHS), which was administered to the non-institutional population living in private dwellings (about one in three households, excluding non-private dwellings such as rooming houses and hotels). Governments have set an ambitious target of closing the life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians by 2031. Bombay A, Matheson K, Anisman H. The intergenerational effects of Indian Residential Schools: implications for the concept of historical trauma. Over time, various methods of estimating Indigenous life expectancy and with that, the life expectancy gap, have been adopted with differing, albeit non‐comparable results.

This area warrants investigation in future research. Life expectancy trends were calculated for each Indigenous and non-Indigenous category by fitting a linear regression model, assuming a constant rate of change in the logarithm of the weighted life expectancy estimate from one cohort year to the next. Data linkages for the 2006 and 2011 CanCHECs were constructed using Statistics Canada’s Social Data Linkage Environment (SDLE).Note 17 The SDLE helps create linked population data files for social analysis through linkage to the Derived Record Depository (DRD), a dynamic relational database containing only basic personal identifiers.
