Anthropometric indices and their relationship with diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia in Australian Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders

Australian indigenous people have a body shape and cardiovascular risk profiles different from that of other ethnic populations. This present study aims to examine the association of anthropometric indices with diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia, and to determine what indices can best predict these individual risk factors for the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
