Newly released reports from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare CKD: Australian facts, Diabetes: Australian facts, HSVD: Australian facts, Chronic respiratory conditions and Chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
Chronic Kidney Disease : Australian facts provides key information for monitoring chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the Australian population, focusing on CKD risk factors, treatment and impact. Incidence, prevalence, hospitalisation and mortality are described with additional analysis of priority population groups.
Diabetes : Australian facts provides key information for monitoring diabetes in the Australian population, focusing on diabetes risk factors, major subtypes, treatment and impact. The report includes information on incidence, prevalence, hospitalisation and deaths, with additional analysis of priority population groups. An interactive data tool allows for further exploration of available data.
Heart, stroke and vascular disease : Australian facts provides key information for monitoring cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the Australian population, focusing on cardiovascular risk factors, major subtypes, treatment and impact. Incidence, prevalence, hospitalisation and mortality are described for each disease, with additional analysis of priority population groups. An interactive data tool allows for further exploration of CVD hospitalisation and mortality data.
Chronic respiratory conditions. Respiratory conditions affect the airways, including the lungs as well as the passages that transfer air from the mouth and nose into the lungs. They can be long lasting (chronic) or short term (acute) and can cause ill health, disability and death.
Chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Conditions that affect the bones, muscles and joints are known as musculoskeletal conditions. These conditions include long-term (chronic) conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile arthritis, back problems, gout, and osteoporosis or osteopenia (low bone density).
