Key result
Urban Aboriginal Australians show no difference in first CHD event rates versus remote populations.

What is the incidence of coronary heart disease events in an urban Aboriginal Australian population?
p-value: p=> 0.05
Urban-dwelling Aboriginal Australians have a high incidence of CHD events that is comparable to those living in remote areas, highlighting the need for widespread cardiovascular risk management.

High CHD rates in urban Aboriginal Australians match remote populations; extends remote data but leaves urban-specific prevention open.
Bradshaw et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Coronary heart disease (n=906). Urban dwelling vs. Remote dwelling was evaluated on First CHD event (hospital admission or death) (95% CI 10.2-15.6, p=> 0.05). Urban-dwelling Aboriginal Australians experienced a first CHD event rate of 12.6 per 1000 person-years (95% CI 10.2-15.6), which was not significantly different from remote-dwelling populations (P>0.05).
