Culture has a varied impact on Australians' health, report

When the results of the 2021 Census were released, it painted a picture of the health of Australians by offering data for the first time on ten chronic health conditions. A new report suggests some culturally and linguistically diverse communities are affected by illness more than others.

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) says chronic disease affects people from lower socio-economic backgrounds, those living in rural and remote areas, indigenous Australians and men, more than the rest of the population. Source: Press Association
