Aim: To characterise lipid profiles for Australian Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders.Methods: Community-based, cross-sectional surveys in 1995-1997 including: 407 female and 322 male Australian Aboriginal people and 207 female and 186 male Torres Strait Islanders over 15 years old. A comparator of 78 female (44 with diabetes) and 148 male (73 with diabetes) non-indigenous participants recruited to clinical epidemiological Studies was used. Lipids were determined by standard assays and LDL diameter by gradient gel electrophoresis.Results: Diabetes prevalence was 14.8% and 22.6% among, Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders. respectively. LDL size (mean [95% CI (confidence interval) was smaller (P
