“…Finally, Baldwin et al . from Kalgoorlie presented five cases of renal stones, postulating that the development of renal stones was due to a chronic metabolic acidosis from lactose intolerance . Although lactose intolerance was documented, chronic metabolic acidosis was not, and some of the young children also had gastroenteritis with dehydration or urine infections.…”

We identified 244 relevant articles pertinent to indigenous health (4% of the total) with a steady increase in number since 1995. Most Australian publications in the journal (with a small Indigenous population) have focussed on conditions such as malnutrition, diarrhoeal disease, iron deficiency, rheumatic fever, acute glomerulonephritis and respiratory and ear infections, and in settings where nearly all affected children are Indigenous. In contrast, New Zealand publications (with a large Maori and Pacific Islander population) have addressed important health issues affecting all children but emphasised the over-representation of Maori and Pacific Islanders. Publications in the journal are largely descriptive studies with relatively few systematic reviews and randomised trials. Our review attempts to cover the important Indigenous health issues in our region as represented by articles published in the Journal. The studies do document definite improvements in indigenous child health over the last 50 years.

“…Experimental data available are limited. A study conducted on Australian Aborigine children implies that lactose intolerance is linked with kidney stone formation (mainly urate calculi) in determining chronic metabolic acidosis that, in turn, leads to protein catabolism, increased urate excretion and thus formation of calculi [8]. A noteworthy 12-year study by Choi and coworkers on the relationship between dietary risk factors and new cases of gout [9], investigated the above-mentioned relationship in a population of 47,150 men who did not present gout when recruited in the study.…”

026specifying the type). In addition, the variables collected for each patient and control provide demographic data (gender, age, height and weight) and information on the type of stones and the number of episodes of colic up to completion of the questionnaire (patients only) (Tables 1,2). Although the type of the kidney stones was not known in all the patients, most of the calculi analysed were calcium oxalate kidney stones, like observed in the general population (Table 1). Statistical analysisDescriptive analysis was performed for each variable, including frequency distribution of the variables and calculation of the elementary statistics (mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum) for the quantitative variables in patients and controls. Distribution was determined using Chi-square tests. Student's t-test was used to assess quantitative variables. Thereafter, logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the importance of each factor on the probability of being patients or controls. In addition to food intake, BMI (calculated on weight and height and split into ≤25 or >25 kg/m 2 ), age (≤50 years or >50 years) and gender were taken into consideration. A backwards variable selection method was adopted where p<0.05 (Wald's test) was minimum threshold. The odds ratio and 95% confidence limits were calculated for the other variables present in the final model. All the analysis was performed using SAS V8.2 software for Windows. ResultsFrequency distributions and elementary statistics carried out to better assess the extent of the differences observed revealed that IntroductionDiet plays a key role in the pathogenesis of kidney stones [1]. In particular, recent findings have advanced knowledge on the protective role of a high calcium diet in the pathophysiology of the formation of calcium oxalate stones (the most common variety). Nonetheless, not much is known about the specific action of different foods supplying calcium, in particular the specific role played by milk intake, compared with other dairy products (mainly cheese) in kidney stone formation. We performed a retroactive case-controlled study using a questionnaire to investigate the eating pattern of patients presenting kidney stones in our territory, and also to assess the role of milk intake and various dietary alimentary factors. Subjects and Methods Study populationOur study cohort was made up of 42 patients (21 males and 13 females) attending our lithotripsy centre and 20 healthy controls (6 males and 14 females) with no history of kidney stones. Neither taking vitamin D or calcium from non-dairy sources. Assessment of dietary and non dietary variablesThe entire study cohort was given a semi-quantitative questionnaire (using standard household units of weight to make the form userfriendly) to reveal the frequency and customary mean daily intake of meat (without specifying the type), salt, cheese (without specifying the type), milk (without specifying the type), pasta (without specifying the type), sugar (without specifying the type), vegeta...
