Average weight of women by CSD
Feb 20th, 2006 by amelia
Question
I have a student who is looking for the average weight of women in the town in Ontario that she lives in, Georgina, ON. From the CCHS, I can get to the geography level of the Health Region (Simco, York), but I can’t seem to go to the actual town level. I can get the BMI, but I’m not sure about the actual weight–the PUMF does have a variable for self-report weight and a variable for measured weight.
Is there any other survey that collects weight and provides geography to the level of the town? (In this case Georgina is a CSD)
Answer
Statistics Canada does not have a product that would break down weight level down to the level of CSD (Georgina, ON). The lowest level of geography would be the Health Region (Simco, York).
