HALE is an indicator of overall population health that combines measures of both age- and sex-specific health status, and age- and sex-specific mortality into a single statistic. It represents the number of expected years of life equivalent to years lived in full health, based on the average experience in a population.

11 The built environment can be broadly defined as environments that have been created or modified by people such as: neighbourhood designs; schools; homes; workplaces; recreation areas; location of stores; and the location and design of roads; sidewalks, bike lanes and footpaths. It is a key determining factor to promote physical activity and prevent obesity.

14 Discovery research is carried out to increase knowledge and understanding. This generates new scientific ideas, principles, theories and ways of thinking. Applied research takes these new concepts and translates them into new methods, applications or technologies. For example, discovery research may investigate how the human immune system works or how micro-organisms interact with humans and cause disease, whereas applied research may investigate ways to diagnosis or prevent a specific disease, such as developing a new vaccine.

16 Sex and Gender Based Analysis is an approach to research, programs and policies which systemically inquires about biological (sex-based) and socio-cultural (gender-based) differences between women and men, boys and girls, without presuming that any differences exist. The purpose of SGBA is to promote rigorous sex/gender-sensitive health research, policies and programs which expand the understanding of health determinants in both sexes in order to provide knowledge which may result in improvements in health and health care. link http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hl-vs/pubs/women-femmes/sgba-policy-politique-ags-eng.php [accessed January 26, 2011]

17 Diabetes, cancer, and hypertension are the only chronic diseases for which the Agency will have incidence data for in 2011-12. Work is ongoing to develop baseline data for incidence of additional chronic diseases such as asthma and COPD over the next few years.

18 The Microbiology Emergency Response Team (MERT) is a mobile laboratory capacity that deploys on short notice to assist around the world in public health crises. Staffed by the National Microbiology Laboratory, and working closely with the WHO, the mobile lab capacity includes a range of options from state of the art portable lab equipment to the mobile lab-truck and lab-trailer. MERT can be deployed prior to major international events to identify and process potential pathogens and enhance event security as well as train staff in outbreak response and develop new diagnostic tests that can detect emerging infectious agents rapidly and efficiently.
