Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate intrinsic capacity in older Aboriginal people living in remote Western Australia, highlighting its significance for healthy aging.
- The research involved a longitudinal cohort design, analyzing survey and clinical data from Aboriginal individuals aged 45 and up across six communities and the town of Derby, conducted from 2004 to 2013.
- Key findings indicated that, at baseline, 15.9% of participants had unimpaired intrinsic capacity across all domains, with notable gender differences, and by the follow-up, 24.1% showed decreased capacity while 40.5% maintained or improved their status, with a significant number also having died during the study period.
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.

However, the risk and protective factors that drive these higher rates vary across existing cohort studies, with minimal findings on the role of vascular risk factors beyond stroke. Harmonisation of data across studies may offer greater insights through enhanced diversity and strengthened statistical capabilities.

Introduction: To better tailor prevention and care strategies, there is a need to identify modifiable factors associated with functional impairment in older Aboriginal people, and related service needs.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence and associated factors for functional impairment in older Aboriginal people, and related service needs.
Design: Cross-sectional survey of 289 Aboriginal people aged ≥45 years living in the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia.
Introduction: Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears (MIRCT) are a significant cause of shoulder disability and pain, presenting a unique challenge in terms of management with multiple options for care ranging from debridement alone to partial rotator cuff repair. In this study we investigate how clinical outcomes and complications of partial rotator cuff repair compare to simple debridement in the treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tears.
Materials And Methods: A total of 1594 publications were identified on PubMed from 1946 to 2017 with 16 level III to level IV studies that were reviewed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
