[[Circumcised]] males are found mostly in older age groups.

The incidence of child circumcision in Canada varies by province, but the overall incidence is believed to be one-half or less than that of the [[United States]] where the [[United_States_of_America#Incidence_of_circumcision| incidence of circumcision]] also is declining. It is now estimated that less than 20 percent ~~or 1 out~~ of 5 boys in Canada are currently being [[circumcised]]. The prevalence of [[circumcision]] in the whole population constantly declines as elderly, mostly [[circumcised]] males die off and are replaced in the population by mostly [[intact]] boys.

[[Foreskinned]] males are in the majority in every province and territory.
