Funded Activity Summary

Promoting fit bodies, healthy eating and physical activity among Indigenous Australian men. Overall, the physical and emotional health of our Indigenous people is the worst in Australia. A major contributing factor is the significant lifestyle changes that have eroded traditional ways of life. These include the adoption of diets that are high in fat, sugar and salt, and a decline of physical activity. As these determinants of poor health are preventable, we will work with Indigenous men and their communities to target cultural factors and develop health promotion strategies that can be used to improve their health.
