Antecedents of Renal Disease in Aboriginal Children and Young Adults - 16 year follow-up

澳大利亚土著人被诊断患有慢性肾病的比率大约是非土著澳大利亚人的10倍。自2002年以来，ARDAC研究对土著和非土著儿童和青少年肾脏和心脏病的早期标志物进行了检查。该研究旨在确定土著成年人中慢性肾脏和心脏病的风险增加是否始于青春期和青年期，因为慢性疾病风险因素的患病率增加。

Aboriginal Australians are diagnosed with chronic kidney disease at approximately 10 times the rate of non-Aboriginal Australians. Since 2002, the ARDAC Study has examined the early markers of kidney and heart disease in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children and adolescents. The study aims to determine if the increased risk of chronic kidney and heart disease seen in Aboriginal adults begins during adolescence and young adulthood as an increased prevalence of chronic disease risk factors.
