Indigenous Australian health and wellbeing statistics indicate Aboriginal Australians are much less healthy than the rest of the Australian community. In 2010–11 the most common cause of hospital admissions for Indigenous Australians in mainland Australia was for kidney dialysis treatment. The 26% of Indigenous Australians living in remote areas experience 40% of the health gap of Indigenous Australians overall.〔Vos T, Barker B, Begg S, et al. ''Burden of disease and injury in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples: the Indigenous health gap'', The International Journal of Epidemiology 2009; 38: 470-477.〕 A 2007 study found that the 11 largest preventable contributions to the indigenous burden of disease in Australia were tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs, high body mass, inadequate physical activity, low intake of fruit and vegetables, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, unsafe sex, child sexual abuse and intimate partner violence.〔Theo Vos, Bridget Barker, Lucy Stanley and Alan D. Lopez, 2007. ''The burden of disease and injury in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples: Summary report.'' Brisbane: School of Population Health, The University of Queensland, p. 9.〕 == Hospitalisation rate == Indigenous Australians go to hospital at a higher rate than non-Indigenous Australians.〔(Institute of Health and Welfare (2012) ''Australian hospital statistics 2010-11''. Canberra: Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. )〕 In 2010-11, Indigenous Australians used hospitals 2.5 times more frequently than non-Indigenous people.〔 This rate comes from an age-standardised separation rate (hospital check-out) of 911 per 1,000 for Indigenous people.〔 The 2010-11 age-standardised separation rate for Indigenous people living in the NT was 1,704 per 1,000, 7.9 times the rate for non-Indigenous people. About 80% of the difference between these rates was due to higher separations for Indigenous people admitted for renal dialysis.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Indigenous health in Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
