| Summary |
The gap in life expectancy between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians is now about 10 to 12 years. Most of that gap is due to chronic diseases such as diabetes, lung, heart and kidney disease. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, lack of exercise, and obesity, as well as poor living conditions, contribute to the chance of developing these diseases. This video emphasises the need for a comprehensive approach to the prevention, treatment and management of chronic disease. It also looks at the Indigneous concepts of health and explores how these might shape more effective intervention programs |
