Researchers: Dr Siah Kim (Principal investigator)

Brief description Aboriginal Australians are burdened with a higher level of chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease, which is the greatest contributor to the gap in health between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians. My proposed research aims identify if the increased risk of chronic disease is evident during childhood and adolescence amongst Aboriginal Australians, and to explore if this inequity is largely explained by the social determinants of health.
