Health Outcomes of Older Indigenous Australians- a 5 year follow up study of a population at risk

土著人民的健康状况很差，许多风险因素导致预期寿命较低，并在年轻时出现跌倒、大小便失禁和痴呆等“老年护理综合症”。研究小组在2005年完成的一项针对金伯利363名老年人的人口调查中描述了痴呆症的高水平。将对这一人群进行重新调查，以记录衰老综合症，并确定可能改善这一高危人群健康的因素

The health of Indigenous people is poor and a number of risk factors contribute to lower life expectancy and the development of 'aged care syndromes' such as falls, incontinence, and dementia at a younger age. The research team has described high levels of dementia in a population survey completed in 2005 on 363 older people from the Kimberley. This population will be re-surveyed to document ageing syndromes and determine factors that may improve health for this population at risk
