Abstract:
Trends in health status and healthcare utilization were examined for regions of Manitoba from 1985 to 2000. While the provincial premature mortality rate decreased, the difference between the northern and southern regions increased. Hospital admissions remained stable despite major bed closures and an aging population; a decrease in hospital days per capita was observed in all regions. Physician contact rates also remained constant despite a 40% increase in the number of seniors.
