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.
