Indigenous Australians have an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and premature cardiovascular disease. Subpopulations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) have been associated with increased cardiovascular risk, but HDL composition, size, or function have not been studied in Indigenous Australians.
Traditional markers modestly predict chronic kidney disease progression in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Therefore, we assessed associations of cardiometabolic and inflammatory clinical biomarkers with kidney disease progression among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with and without diabetes.
Despite evidence documenting high prevalence of type 2 diabetes among several Indigenous populations, a comprehensive systematic review of type 2 diabetes among global Indigenous Peoples has not been recently conducted. Our aim was to report region-, time-, age- and sex-specific type 2 diabetes prevalence among Indigenous adult populations globally.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience high burden of cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic conditions, often manifesting in multimorbidity and contributing to over one third of life expectancy differentials. This article explores cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) health within an Aboriginal cohort by documenting the burden of early risk, disease and factors associated with disease progression.
Parents and caregivers often turn to the internet for information about their child's health and development. Research investigating content related to parenting on the world's most popular social media platform, TikTok, has not been conducted.
