BACKGROUND: 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). DESIGN: A cross-sectional study of Australian Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders. METHODS: A total of 747 Australian Aboriginal people and 439 Torres Strait Islanders aged 25 years and over were examined between 1993 and 1997. Body weight, height, waist and hip circumferences, blood pressure, plasma glucose, triglycerides, total and high-density lipo...
