The life
expectancy of Indigenous Australians is amongst the lowest of any population
group within developed nations and chronic diseases collectively account for
over 80% of the gap in life expectancy between Indigenous and
non-Indigenous Australians.
The Gomeroi
gaaynggal cohort is a prospective, longitudinal maternal-infant cohort
established to examine the origins of chronic disease in Indigenous
Australians.
This study aimed
to determine the major antenatal factors associated with adverse birth outcomes
(preterm delivery, low birth weight) and other pregnancyrelated complications
(gestational diabetes and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy) in Indigenous
Australian women.
