Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The shape of the contemporary population pyramid for Indigenous people in Canada is similar to that of the 1871 population pyramid shown in the textbook. Both show that infant mortality rates are higher in Indigenous communities, in part because of the influence of social determinants on health and health inequities. Consequently, preconception and prenatal care are priorities for health care system planning.
