Abstract
Research into the health of official language minority communities unveils disparities. Being a minority in a society, together with other determinants such as socio-economic status, health education, and a lack of access to social support all contribute to disparities in health. Given that seniors from official language communities in a minority situation are living longer than ever, it is important to examine the situation of Francophone seniors. Based on data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS), we present in this article a differentiated sex- and gender-based analysis of their health and social situation with a focus on health conditions, disability and unmet needs.
