riting in the Journal about Indigenous health 2011, Sir Michael Marmot suggested that challenge was to conduct research, and ultimately apply findings from enable Australians lead more flourishing lives they would have reason value. 1 As committed researchers Australia, we reflect Marmot's ideal -to provide answers key questions relating might live choose live.As a group, over 120 collective years' experience research.Over this time, particularly recent years as ethical guidelines come into...
To assess the prevalence and incidence of diabetes among Aboriginal peoples in remote communities Northern Territory (NT), Australia. Retrospective cohort analysis linked clinical administrative data sets from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2019. Remote health centres using NT Government Primary Care Information System (51 out a total 84 NT). All clients residing serviced by these (N=21 267). Diabetes diagnoses were established hospital primary care coding, biochemistry prescription data. across all...
Observational studies and nonrandomized trials support an association between periodontal disease atherosclerotic vascular disease. Both diseases occur frequently in Aboriginal Australians. We hypothesized that nonsurgical therapy would improve measures of arterial function structure are subclinical indicators This parallel-group, randomized, open label clinical trial enrolled 273 Australians aged ≥18 years with periodontitis. Intervention participants received full-mouth scaling during a...
Background Australian healthcare quality and safety accreditation standards recommend health services partner with care users, to ensure the highest of care. Aboriginal Australians chronic end stage kidney disease have high access needs. Aim To describe experiences users a large government service provider. Methods Within renal in Top-End Northern Territory, we undertook qualitative study involving in-depth interviews 26 adult clients from urban, regional remote settings who were living...
Background Rates of diabetes in pregnancy are disproportionately higher among Aboriginal than non-Aboriginal women Australia. Additional challenges posed by the context health including remoteness and disadvantage. A clinical register was established 2011 to improve care coordination, as an epidemiological quality assurance tool. This paper presents results from a process evaluation identifying what worked well, persisting opportunities for improvement. Methods Clinical data were compared...
Intersectoral collaboration is needed to engage communities and design effective culturally age-appropriate interventions The gap between the health of Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander non-Indigenous Australians well documented, with many policies programs currently working towards improving outcomes. Despite these efforts, life expectancy 10–11 years less than that Australians,1 65% deaths occur before 65 age, compared 19% in population.1 Cardiovascular metabolic diseases are responsible...
Aboriginal people in remote Northern Territory communities experience the highest burden of type 2 diabetes (T2D) globally. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) improve cardiac and renal outcomes selected populations. However, safety this context is unknown. We investigated SGLT2i use with T2D between 2012 2020.
The burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among Indigenous children and adolescents is much greater than in non-Indigenous young people appears to be rising, although data on epidemiology complications are limited. Young living remote areas appear at excess risk T2DM. Most with T2DM asymptomatic diagnosis typically have a family history T2DM, overweight or obese may signs hyperinsulinism such as acanthosis nigricans. Onset usually during early adolescence. Barriers addressing rural...
OBJECTIVE To examine the association between soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (sTNFR1) levels and kidney disease progression in Indigenous Australians at high risk of disease. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This longitudinal observational study examined participants aged ≥18 years recruited from >20 sites across diabetes and/or function strata. Baseline measures included sTNFR1, serum creatinine, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR), HbA1c, C-reactive protein (CRP),...
To determine the influence of central obesity and type 2 diabetes on peripheral wave reflection in Indigenous Australians.A cross-sectional study remote Australians with (n = 43) without 54) similar age (47 years) sex; using anthropometric bioelectrical impedance measures applanation tonometry to aortic augmentation index (AI) as an reflection.Indices were significantly higher diabetic than non-diabetic participants [body mass (BMI): 27.3 versus 24.6 kg/m, P 0.018; waist circumference: women...
