IRON
Was there a difference by remoteness? Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in non-remote and remote areas had similar average daily iron intakes (1.3mg and 1.5mg respectively). How did this compare with non-Indigenous people? The average daily iron intake for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and non-Indigenous people was similar (10mg and 11mg respectively). Both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and non-Indigenous people had an average iron intake of 1.3mg per 1,000 kJ of energy (see Table 3.1 and Table 3.3). Note that several iron biomarkers were collected as part of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Measures Survey.
