Episode 2, 2018: Chronic disability in Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander People
We discuss:
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience disability at
approximately twice the rate of other Australians
- Fracture prevalence is much higher and is increasing in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
- There is very limited data on bone density with no studies in muscle health.
- Future studies are needed to formulate preventative strategies that are appropriate in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
