The Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle study (AusDiab) is the first national Australian longitudinal population-based study to examine the prevalence and incidence of diabetes and its complications, as well as high blood pressure, heart disease and kidney disease. Identified as being the only national study of its kind to have been undertaken in a developed nation, the AusDiab study began in 1999-2000, when over 11,000 adults across the country took part in the study. These individuals were invited to take part in two follow-up studies, the first in 2004-2005, and the second in 2011-2012. This report presents the main findings from the AusDiab 12-year follow-up based on data collected from people who participated in both the 1999–2000 baseline survey and at least one of the two follow-up surveys. The final chapter presents total mortality data over a 12-year period for the various diseases and risk factors. The authors are SK Tanamas, DJ Magliano, B Lynch, P Sethi, L Willenberg, KR Polkinghorne, S Chadban, D Dunstan, and JE Shaw (Baker IDI: Heart & Diabetes Institute). (APO 22/8/13)
