Avoidable deaths among First Nations peoples compared to other Australians 2018 (AIHW)
In 2018, almost two-thirds (64%) of the fatal burden among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (First Nations) people was classified as avoidable (preventable), compared to 54% in non-Indigenous Australians.
There were:
– 486 AYLL (avoidable years of life lost) (1.2 AYLL per 1,000 population) due to asthma in females under 75
– 303 AYLL (0.7 per 1,000) due to asthma in males under 75
– 789 AYLL (1.0 per 1,000) due to asthma in persons under 75
You can find further details (e.g. the stats per age group) in the data download on the AIHW website.
