There are many contributing factors to these worrying statistics and this paper serves to explore some of those factors. Between 2008-2012 the mortality rate for infant Torres Strait Islanders and Aboriginal children was almost double that of Non-Indigenous Australians with a staggering 6.2 infant deaths per 1,000 compared to 3.7 for
Social, biological, psychological, psychosocial are four explanations that play a role in the development of a wide variety of diseases. “The concept of biological programming rests on knowledge about and evidence of growth before and after birth” (Marmot and Wilkinson 32).

The World Health Organization (WHO) was established in 1948 by the United Nations, serving as a specialized agency to coordinate international health and public health problems (Wilkinson & Marmot, 2003, p. 4). Mason, Gardner, Outlaw, and O'Grady (2016) states that health is created where people live, work, and play; therefore being more dependent on one’s zipcode rather than one’s genetic code (p. 2). One of the goals of the WHO is to create a healthier nation which requires that the factors that
