Antecedents of Renal Disease in Aboriginal Children and Young Adults - 12 year follow-up

与非土著澳大利亚人相比，澳大利亚土著居民的慢性肾脏疾病和心血管疾病过早死亡率是后者的2到10倍。我们对新南威尔士州不同地区的土著儿童进行了6年的跟踪调查，发现与非土著儿童相比，患这些疾病的风险没有增加。ARDAC第二阶段研究将对参与者再跟踪6年，以确定这些健康差距是否开始在年轻的土著成年人中显现。

Aboriginal Australians have 2 to 10 times the rate of chronic kidney disease and premature death from cardiovascular disease compared with non-Aboriginal Australians. Our 6 year follow-up of Aboriginal children from diverse NSW areas has shown no increase in risk for these diseases when compared with non-Aboriginal children. The ARDAC Second Phase Study will follow the participants for another 6 years to determine whether these health disparities start to manifest in young Aboriginal adults.
