Culturally safe and ethical biomarker and genomic research with Indigenous peoples-a scoping review.

Background: Indigenous peoples globally continue to be underrepresented in biomarker, genomic, and biobanking research. The aim of this study was to identify core components of culturally safe and ethical biomarker and genomic research with Indigenous peoples in Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Canada and the USA.

Methods: A scoping review with a systematic search strategy was conducted utilising electronic databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO, CINAHL and Global Health.

Intrinsic capacity and ageing well for Aboriginal people in remote Western Australia: a longitudinal cohort study.

Objective: To assess intrinsic capacity, an important component of ageing well, in older Aboriginal people living in remote Western Australia.

Study Design: Longitudinal cohort study; secondary analysis of survey and clinical assessment data.

Setting: Kimberley region of Western Australia (six remote communities, and the town of Derby).

Sociodemographic, lifestyle, and medical factors associated with calculated free testosterone concentrations in men: individual participant data meta-analyses.

Objective: Sociodemographic, lifestyle, and medical variables influence total testosterone (T) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) concentrations. The relationship between these factors and "free" T remains unclear. We examined 21 sociodemographic, lifestyle, and medical predictors influencing calculated free T (cFT) in community-dwelling men across ages.

Estimating the rates of dementia using administrative data linked to cohort studies.

Background: Current estimates of dementia and Alzheimer's disease incidence and prevalence are required to understand the health needs of the elderly.

Objective: We used two Australia cohort studies, administrative datasets, and data linkage techniques to estimate dementia rates in Australia.

Methods: The study used Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health and the Health in Men Cohort Study.

Community-based dementia risk management and prevention program for Aboriginal Australians (DAMPAA): a randomised controlled trial study protocol.

Introduction: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the First Peoples of Australia. Up to 45% of dementia in these populations is due to potentially modifiable risk factors. The Dementia Prevention and Risk Management Program for Aboriginal Australians (DAMPAA) is an Aboriginal Health Practitioner led programme that aims to reduce cognitive decline and functional impairment in older Aboriginal people.
