▼ Our epidemiology research found that the incident and prevalent rates for Diabetes mellitus (DM) and Diabetic End Stage Renal Disease (DM-ESRD) were at rise in
Saskatchewan between year 1980 and 2005. Combining concerns regarding the rising trends reported by research studies with the concerns of the significant health and financial burden imposed by DM-ESRD on individuals and societies, we sought to project the number of DM-ESRD patients in
Saskatchewan up to year 2025 with the cost required for caring for those patients.
An agent-based model (ABM) is developed to simulate DM to ESRD progression, treatments for DM-ESRD patients, and the assessments and waiting list processes preparing patients for kidney transplants. The model parameters were estimated from a wide variety of data sources. The agent based modeling approach is chosen for projections regarding the DM-ESRD situation in
Saskatchewan because of its advantage in capturing heterogeneities of individual patients, ability to retain biographical information on patients, capacity to capture time-varying competing risks, better presentations features and easy integration with existing models built in either agent based or System Dynamic methods. The approach was also attractive due to its flexibility for future expansion to represent social networks.
The model projects the incident and prevalent case count, cost, and person years lived for the DM-ESRD population in
Saskatchewan between year 1980 and 2025. The projections captured the great challenges brought by the fast growing number of DM-ESRD patients and substantial cost associated with managing the disease. In addition to producing projection results, the research presented here demonstrates how the model can be used by policy makers to experiment and evaluate different policy/interventions in a safe context. By capturing both the individual level records and population level statistics, the model provide a wealth of data for detailed analysis, which can help health policy makers gain insights in the current and future diabetic-ESRD situation in the province, aiding in resources planning for managing the fast-growing ESRD population and the growing need for dialysis services.

▼ Background:
Saskatchewan is one of the largest rurally populated provinces in Canada with a high prevalence of diabetes in the rural population. Current knowledge about risk factors of diabetes prevalence among the rural residents and the First Nations populations in
Saskatchewan is primarily based on cross-sectional studies. Additionally, information regarding risk factors associated with the incidence of diabetes among Canadian rural and First Nation populations is limited.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to extensively assess predictors and longitudinal changes associated with the incidence and prevalence of diabetes among rural residents and First Nations in
Saskatchewan, Canada. Additionally, we wanted to determine differences in rates and risk factors of diabetes between First Nations and rural residents in
Saskatchewan.
Methods: Both the
Saskatchewan rural health study (SRHS) and First Nation Lung Health Project (FNLHP) were prospective cohort studies. SRHS was conducted in two phases: a baseline survey (2010, n=8261) and a follow-up survey (2014, n=4867). The FNLHP was also conducted in two phases: baseline survey (2012/13, n=874) and a follow-up survey (2016, n=839)
Results: The prevalence of diabetes increased from the baseline to follow-up in rural residents and First Nation populations, and non-farm rural residents had a higher prevalence of diabetes than rural farm residents. Apart from common modifiable risk factors, agricultural chemical-related exposures were responsible for the high prevalence of diabetes among rural residents but proven non-significant for the incidence of diabetes. A unique finding of our study was that sleep apnea significantly increases the risk of developing new diabetes cases among rural residents, which is non-significant for the prevalence of diabetes. Additionally, diabetes was prevalent among First Nation women, compared to men, and the finding was reversed for rural residents. Unemployment and high BMI were the most significant factors for the high prevalence of diabetes among First Nation Populations. However, severe perceived discrimination acted as a protective factor for diabetes prevalence, and the underlying mechanism was unclear.
Conclusion: Both individual and contextual factors were responsible for the high incidence and prevalence of diabetes among the rural residents and First Nation populations of
Saskatchewan, which demands urgent long term and population-based community health initiatives.

▼ Background: Childhood asthma is less common in rural compared to urban settings. This could be linked to possible asthma under-diagnosis in rural children. Furthermore, asthma presents with multiple phenotypes and degrees of severity; and may have varied associations with indoor microbial exposures.
Objectives: i) to investigate if rural children experience more asthma under-diagnosis compared to urban children; ii) to investigate the relationship between endotoxin and beta-(1→3)-D-glucan (BDG) with atopic asthma and exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB); and iii) to examine the associations between endotoxin and BDG with asthma severity.
Methods: In 2015, following a 2013 cross-sectional study, we approached those who gave consent for further testing and repeated the survey and completed clinical assessments. The 2015 study included 335 schoolchildren (aged 7–17 years) in
Saskatchewan, Canada. Play and mattress area settled dust sample collection was also completed. Asthma was identified based on survey responses and then based on a validated asthma algorithm. Children with confirmed asthma using the asthma algorithm (n = 116) formed the study population for the second (asthma phenotypes) and third (asthma severity) objectives. We evaluated asthma phenotypes based on skin prick testing and exercise challenge testing and asthma severity based on standard guidelines. Endotoxin and BDG were measured from dust samples using limulus amoebocyte lysate assay.
Results: The study population was comprised of 73.4% (large urban, LU), 13.7% (small urban, SU) and 12.8% (rural, R). The proportions of participants with survey-based vs. algorithm-based asthma classification were: 28.5% vs. 33.3% (LU), 34.8% vs. 41.3% (SU), and 20.9% vs. 34.9% (R). Among the algorithm-based asthma cases, 71.1% were atopic, 22.4% had EIB, 75.9% had mild asthma, and 24.1% had moderate/severe asthma. Play area endotoxin was inversely associated with atopic asthma while mattress endotoxin was positively associated with EIB. Furthermore, mattress endotoxin was positively associated with moderate/severe asthma and decreased lung function while play area BDG was inversely association with moderate/severe asthma.
Conclusion: The study revealed evidence of asthma under-diagnosis in rural children. Furthermore, the study provided evidence of varied associations between indoor microbial exposures and asthma phenotypes as well as asthma severity.

▼ Purpose: To examine the effectiveness of a community-based intensive
multifactorial clinical intervention for patients with Type 2 diabetes, to evaluate the
feasibility of achieving clinical targets for glycemic control in a community setting, and
to identify factors that are predictive of glycemic control in this cohort (age, gender,
disease duration, continuity of care, pharmacologic treatment, diabetes self-care and
smoking status).
Methods: Participants with Type 2 diabetes referred to the Diabetes
Clinic following dissemination of the 2003 Clinical Practice Guidelines of Canadian
Diabetes Association and who attended a minimum of two physician visits within a
twelve month period were deemed eligible for participation. 70 patients were included in
this retrospective study. Baseline and twelve month values for the following biomedical
outcomes were collected via chart audit: BMI, hemoglobin Ale, blood pressure (systolic,
diastolic) and lipid profile (HDL, LDL, triglycerides, total cholesterol, TC:HDL ratio).
Data for identification of predictive factors for glycemic control were also retrieved by
chart audit.
Results: The results of the paired t-test yielded a significant improvement in
hemoglobin Ale (p < 0.05), systolic blood pressure (p < 0.0l), HDL-cholesterol (p

▼ Background: End stage renal disease (ESRD) is a growing public health problem in Canada and it disproportionately affects Aboriginal people. Diabetes is the most common reported cause of ESRD.
Objectives and methods: To determine whether there are significant disparities in the risk of ESRD and mortality without ESRD between diabetic First Nations (FN) and other
Saskatchewan (OSK) people; to build and validate diabetic ESRD dynamic models. This is a population study of diabetes, utilizing data drawn from the
Saskatchewan Ministry of Health administrative databases from 1980 to 2005. Competing risks survival analysis was used, including a Cox cause-specific model, Weibull proportional hazards (PH) model and piece-wise exponential PH hazards model. System Dynamics modeling (SDM) and agent-based modeling (ABM) methods were used to build dynamic models of diabetic patients’ progression to ESRD.
Results: There were a total of 90,429 diabetic people in the study cohort, from 1980 to 2005. Among them, 8,254 (9%) of them were FN people. The average age at diabetes diagnosis for FN was 47.2 (SD=14) years old while for OSK, it was 61.6 (SD=15.3) years old (P-value<0.0001). After adjusting for sex and age at diabetes diagnosis, the risk of developing ESRD was 2.97 times higher for FN compared to OSK (95% CI: 2.51-3.54; P-value<0.0001). FN had lower risk of death than OSK before adjusting for age and sex difference. After adjusting for diabetes diagnosis age, sex, interaction between age and sex and interaction between age and ethnicity, FN had higher risk of death than OSK given the same sex and diabetes diagnosis age (younger than 81 years old). Using the same hazard rate estimations from competing risks survival analysis, the ABM model demonstrated a better match between historical data and model predicted data compared to the SD model.
Conclusion: A much younger age of diabetes diagnosis among FN compared to OSK likely contributes to higher rates of ESRD because of a differential mortality effect – FN with diabetes are more likely to live long enough to develop ESRD.

▼ First Nations and Métis children living in Canada continue to experience disproportionately high levels of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to the general Canadian child population (Young 2003; Oster and Toth 2009). Evidence supports the need to develop and implement culture-based physical activity and nutrition health programming in order to support the adoption of healthy lifestyles among First Nations and Métis school-aged children (Macaulay, Paradis et al. 1997; Potvin, Cargo et al. 2003; Ng, Young et al. 2010). Culturally relevant health promoting interventions have been created in collaboration with First Nations communities; however, given that Métis populations have unique cultural characteristics that differ from First Nations groups, there is strong rationale for developing, implementing and evaluating culture-based health programs in collaboration with Métis communities that take a preventative approach with school-aged children. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact of a Métis culture-based comprehensive school health program on the physical activity and nutrition knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviours of Métis children, using participatory action research (PAR).
Initially, relationships were built and nurtured with the participating community and collaborations commenced to develop and implement a Métis culture-based school health program. Métis community members’ input was sought to develop a series of 17 culturally relevant physical activity and nutrition health promoting lessons. The participating teacher delivered these lessons to one split class of Grade 3 and 4 Métis students (age 8 and 9 years; n=16) attending the local elementary school once per week over a 4-month timeframe. Overall, children were taught about healthy eating and physical activity and how a healthy lifestyle can prevent obesity and diabetes.
Physical activity and nutrition knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviours among the Métis children were measured prior to and following the implementation of the health program. A group of 21 age-matched students attending separate Grade 3 and 4 classes acted as a comparison standard care group and did not receive health promotion programming. A variety of qualitative and quantitative methods were used including interviews (focus groups; individual with children and teachers), questionnaires (food frequency; knowledge, attitude and beliefs; physical activity questionnaire (PAQ-C)), accelerometry (using Actical accelerometers), and photovoice (using digital cameras).
Physical activity data showed that participating students were more physically active than students who did not receive the intervention. Participating students spent significantly fewer minutes in sedentary activities compared to a comparison group post-intervention, 495 min/day compared to 527 min/day respectively. Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) levels did not significantly decrease in students participating in the intervention, while a comparison group experienced…
