Living Longer Stronger
Living Longer Stronger is an AH&MRC project aimed at addressing the prevalence of chronic diseases in Aboriginal populations in NSW. A chronic condition is a health condition or disease that is persistent and has long-lasting effects that come with time. Indigenous Australians are more likely than non-Indigenous Australians to have chronic health problems or diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease, musculoskeletal conditions and respiratory diseases. The AH&MRC is committed to addressing this health disparity in NSW by proving health practitioners with culturally appropriate resources and training.
