Changes

The prevalence of circumcision is higher among older males, but lower among younger males. As older, mostly [[circumcised]] males die and are replaced in the population by younger, mostly [[intact]] males, the overall prevalence of [[circumcised ]] men in Canada is gradually declining. [[Intact]] males usually do not want any son to be [[circumcised]],<ref name="brown-brown1987" /> <ref name="rediger-muller2013" /> so the demand for [[circumcision]] in Canada is declining.

Mayan et al. (2021) carried out a massive empirical study of the male population of the province of Ontario, Canada (569,950 males), of whom 203,588 (35.7%) were [[circumcised ]] between 1991 and 2017. The study concluded that circumcision status is not related to risk of [[HIV]] infection.<ref name="mayan2021">{{REFjournal

Schröder et al. (2021) reviewed the experience of the [https://www.sickkids.ca Hospital for Sick Children] in Toronto with regard to circumcision-related emergency admissions between 2000 and 2013. They found that 19 previously healthy neonates had emergency admissions for circumcision complications. The records of patients who had died were searched to identify those who had been [[circumcised]].
