Effect of indicators on Obesity
 According to the study of Thurber et al.
(2018), it is reported that due to location
specificity, more numbers of Aboriginal
people are having obesity (39% of total
population) while comparing with the non
indigenous Australian (22% of total
sample size).
 It is reported that due to reduced access of
services, food insecurity and lack of
knowledge, the aboriginal Australians
have 40% more chances of having obesity
than that of the Non-indigenous Australian.
