We analysed the incidence of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) in South Australia, investigating possible associations between an increased incidence of SCFE, the local indigenous population and the Australian obesity epidemic during the last 20 years. Data including race, age and gender were collected to obtain a profile of the South Australian SCFE patient, and were then compared with epidemiological data for South Australian adolescents. We concluded that the incidence of both obesity and SCFE is increasing. We also noted that the median weight of SCFE patients has increased and the mean age at diagnosis has decreased. Despite weight profiles comparable with those of the general population, we noted that an indigenous child was three times more likely to develop SCFE than a non-indigenous child. As far as we know there is no published literature on the predisposition of Aboriginal Australians to SCFE.
我们分析了南澳大利亚州股骨头骨骺滑脱（SCFE）的发病率，调查过去20年间SCFE发病率增加、当地原住民人口与澳大利亚肥胖流行之间可能存在的关联。收集了包括种族、年龄和性别的数据，以了解南澳大利亚州SCFE患者的概况，然后将其与南澳大利亚青少年的流行病学数据进行比较。我们得出结论，肥胖和SCFE的发病率都在上升。我们还注意到，SCFE患者的体重中位数增加，诊断时的平均年龄下降。尽管体重情况与普通人群相当，但我们注意到，原住民儿童患SCFE的可能性是非原住民儿童的三倍。据我们所知，尚无关于澳大利亚原住民易患SCFE的文献发表。
