Abstract

The incidence of type 2 diabetes in two ethnically distinct Indigenous populations in north Queensland, Australia, is estimated. The studies have shown that the incidence of diabetes in these Indigenous Australians is four times higher than for the non-Indigenous population and currently used body mass index (BMI) cut-off points are not appropriate for Indigenous Australians to predict diabetes.
