Canadian Health Measures Survey

The Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) is a nationally representative study that collects detailed health data from Canadians through direct physical measurements, biological samples, and questionnaires. It provides accurate information on various health indicators such as body composition, blood pressure, and blood tests, helping researchers and policymakers understand the overall health of the population. By doing so, the CHMS supports the development of health policies, disease prevention strategies, and health promotion programs tailored to Canadians’ needs.
