Cardiometabolic health markers among Aboriginal adolescents from the Next Generation Youth Wellbeing Cohort Study

CONCLUSIONS: Most Aboriginal adolescents in this study had cardiometabolic markers within the ideal range, though markers of high risk were present from early adolescence. Ideal health markers were more prevalent among those with healthy body composition.IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: Specific screening and management guidelines for Aboriginal adolescents and population health initiatives that support maintenance of healthy body composition could help improve cardiometabolic health in this population.PMID:38447271 | DOI:10.1016/j.anzjph.2024.100139
