- Description
- Vascular disease devastates the lives of many Tasmanians. Using a statewide, data-linkage approach, we will report the age, gender and geographic distribution of risk factors for vascular disease (including diabetes, high cholesterol, vitamin D deficiency and kidney disease), then see how these risk factors link to illness and death.
