But a closer look at additional health indicators reveals a more mixed picture: a While Canadians generally have high levels of health, there are discrepancies in health according to social groupings – despite the availability of universal health services. b People with higher incomes and education live longer, are less likely to have diabetes and other chronic conditions, are more likely to be physically active, and report better levels of health overall. c Canadians rating of their health status has declined in recent years. This decline runs across the population. d The decline is most marked among teenagers, which is a worrisome trend, given that this age group is generally considered healthier than most. e The majority of Canadians rate the quality of their health care system as high and most are satisfied with their health care services.
