Statistics Canada recently provided the National ME/FM Action Network with two spreadsheets showing prevalence figures for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, both CFS and FM, and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities. These figures are from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS).

Figures for 2015, 2016, 2019, 2021 and 2022 are on the spreadsheet here  (Provided to National ME/FM Action Network by the Centre for Health Data Integration, Statistics Canada, April 4, 2024).

Figures for 2020 are on a separate spreadsheet here (Provided to National ME/FM Action Network by the Centre for Health Data Integration, Statistics Canada, April 11, 2024).

Note that CFS and FM were not on the CCHS questionnaire in 2017 or 2018. MCS was not on the CCHS questionnaire in 2017, 2018 or 2019.
