The findings are from the National Institute on Ageing’s (NIA) Ageing in Canada Survey, released in January 2026 and supported by Manulife through early initiatives of its Manulife Longevity Institute. The online survey was conducted from June 27 to July 24, 2025, sampling 6,001 Canadians aged 50+ living in community settings across all provinces and, for the first time, the territories.
“One of the clearest messages from the Ageing in Canada Survey is that prevention can’t be postponed until later in life,” said Dr Samir Sinha, geriatrician and director of Health Policy Research at the NIA.
