Since 1788, when white people first arrived in Australia, Australia's Indigenous people have suffered systematic degradation of Indigenous culture and people. It is for this reason that Aboriginal people have profound effects on health and emotional well-being (Dudgeon 2010, p. 38).

As mentioned above, many factors include social and emotional issues affecting Aboriginal people and the Torrens State. Health of the islanders. The four main factors I would like to discuss here are:1. Uncontrolled diabetes2. Cardiovascular disease3. Kidney disease4. Substance abuse and associated harms Uncontrolled diabetes: The Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute (2012, p. 2) stated that Australian Aboriginal and Torrens Islanders are 3 times more likely to have diabetes than Australians non-indigenous. Overweight and obesity are major contributors to uncontrolled diabetes among Aboriginal Australians. According to Harrison (2012, p. 449), lack of physical activity, diet, and impaired glucose regulation contribute to overweight and obesity. Increasing body weight can lead the body to insulin resistance. In 2008-2009, diabetes increased rapidly among Indigenous adults, with 37 percent of adults being overweight and 25 percent obese. Diabetes is a chronic disease that can cause many other complications. It is therefore extremely important to control all the factors that contribute to it to prevent it and promote a healthy lifestyle.
