Description: | Prevalence of obesity among Australians, by Indigenous status. |
Rationale: | High body mass accounted for 7.5% of burden of disease in 2003. Obesity is closely associated with risk factors for the main causes of morbidity and mortality among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. |

Computation description: | Crude rates are calculated for Indigenous Australians. Age-standardised rates are calculated for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. 95% Confidence intervals and relative standard errors are calculated for crude and age-standardised rates. Rate ratios and rate differences are calculated for Indigenous:non-Indigenous. Presentation: Number, rate per 100 persons (percentage), rate ratio, rate difference, confidence intervals, and relative standard error. |
Computation: | Crude rate: 100 x (Numerator ÷ Denominator). Age-standardised rate: calculated using the direct method with the 2001 Australian population as at 30 June as the standard. Ten year age groups are used from 0-4 to 55 years and over to be consistent with published estimates by the ABS. Rate ratio: Indigenous age-standardised rate divided by non-Indigenous age-standardised rate. Rate difference: Indigenous age-standardised rate minus non-Indigenous age-standardised rate. |
Numerator: | People aged 18 years or over with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 30 (obese) |

Denominator: | Total population of people aged 18 years or over |
