This national longitudinal survey collects health information through a household interview and direct physical measures at a mobile clinic in order to create national baseline data on the extent of such major health concerns as: obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, exposure to infectious diseases, and exposure to environmental contaminants. By collecting physical measures from the survey population, the CHMS includes individuals at varying levels of health who may or may not seek medical treatment. As such, it will be able to provide an estimate of the number of Canadians who show signs of a previously undetected illness or who may be unaware that they have a condition. The biomonitoring component of the survey measures the levels of over 80 environmental contaminants, including many endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Data are disaggregated by age and sex.
