Summary
Presents results of a study based in a remote island Aboriginal community in the Northern Territory; evaluates correlation of albumin/creatinine ratio with age; birthweight and malnutrition, adult weight and fat deposition; infections; episodes of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritits; heavy alcohol consumption, multiparity in women and a family history of renal disease; Concludes that renal disease in this community is multideterminant and closely related to the general health profile, other chronic disease states and overall mortality; risk factors are caused by and exacerbated by rapid transition, poverty and disadvantage and deficiences of health services
