Abstract
tus and low birth weight had a differential effect on mean BMI for Aboriginal children compared to non-Aboriginal children (P for interaction = 0.01). Aboriginal boys of highest socioeconomic status had a higher BMI compared to non-Aboriginal boys, but not those of lower socioeconomic status. NonAboriginal boys of low birth weight were heavier than Aboriginal boys of low birth weight. Comment on Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal girls? Conclusions: Socioeconomic status and birth weight has a differential effect on adiposity for Aboriginal boys, similar to that seen in low and middle income countries. Intervention programs need to recognise the differential risk for obesity for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal boys and girls to maximise their impact.
