BRAID-Kids initial RESULTS:
Tests indicate Kids in Driftpile could be at risk
“It’s all about teaching our
kids, so they can teach their
kids and grandchildren. We
are responsible for the next
generations. It starts in the
home, with the family… We
need to do something.”
- Trina Scott,
BRAID-Kids Coordinator

Volume 1, Issue 4

Miwayan provides community
members with information on the
BRAID diabetes project and other
health research going on in
Driftpile First Nation.

~ in collaboration with ~
Driftpile First Nation
and the
Driftpile Diabetes Program,
Maggie Willier Wellness Centre

The BRAID-Kids program has
been running in Driftpile since March
2009. This was after the first BRAID
study showed the Community had
significant risks for diabetes and its
complications,
including
heart
disease, kidney disease, and foot
and eye problems.
BRAID-Kids is testing the health
of kids in Driftpile and trying to
decrease the Community risk of
diabetes and its complications.
So far, the results show that
kids in Driftpile are not as healthy as
average children in Canada. We also
compared results for Driftpile kids to
results for Cree children in James
Bay, Quebec. More children in
Driftpile were overweight or obese,
compared to children in James Bay
(determined by BMI: Body Mass
Index). Many children with a healthy
weight still had what is called “central
adiposity”.
What is “central adiposity”? It
means
the
person’s
waist
circumference is excessive. They
have too much bulk around their
middle. A child or adult with central
adiposity is at higher risk for diabetes

and cardiovascular disease, even if
they are at a healthy weight.
BRAID-Kids
also
looks
at
children’s fitness level. The kids do a
shuttle run (running back-and-forth),
and this shows how fit they are. More
kids in Driftpile had unhealthy fitness
levels than kids in James Bay.
Some Driftpile kids have been
tested twice, and overall their results
haven’t improved. See page 2 for
detailed results of BRAID-Kids testing.
The Cree Pride program is part of
BRAID-Kids. Cree Pride incorporates
traditional Cree beliefs and values
surrounding health, well-being and
lifestyle. We want to see if kids’ testing
results
will
improve
if
their
parents/guardians take part in the Cree
Pride program. The Cree Pride
sessions are just getting started, so we
haven’t been able to test this yet.

More BRAID-Kids testing and
shuttle runs will be done
during the Nutrition Carnival
on April 11th & 12th. There’s
still time to sign up! Contact
Trina Scott @ (780) 805-9374.

How do children in Driftpile compare to Cree children in James Bay?
Except for average weight, the results for children in Driftpile were generally worse compared to results for Cree children in
James Bay, Quebec.
However the numbers of children tested were much smaller in Driftpile and these results are NOT
statistically significant. This means that even though the health center staff and the BRAID-kids
researchers are worried, we cannot know for sure what these results mean. We would like to see
more children and do more tests.

Driftpile Diabetes News (newsletter) - Vol 1 No 4

  • 1. BRAID-Kids initial RESULTS: Tests indicate Kids in Driftpile could be at risk “It’s all about teaching our kids, so they can teach their kids and grandchildren. We are responsible for the next generations. It starts in the home, with the family… We need to do something.” - Trina Scott, BRAID-Kids Coordinator Volume 1, Issue 4 Miwayan provides community members with information on the BRAID diabetes project and other health research going on in Driftpile First Nation. Editor/Publisher: BRAID Diabetes Research Group University of Alberta 8308 – 114 St., Suite 1005A Edmonton, AB T6G 2V2 Phone: (780) 407-8456 ~ in collaboration with ~ Driftpile First Nation and the Driftpile Diabetes Program, Maggie Willier Wellness Centre The BRAID-Kids program has been running in Driftpile since March 2009. This was after the first BRAID study showed the Community had significant risks for diabetes and its complications, including heart disease, kidney disease, and foot and eye problems. BRAID-Kids is testing the health of kids in Driftpile and trying to decrease the Community risk of diabetes and its complications. So far, the results show that kids in Driftpile are not as healthy as average children in Canada. We also compared results for Driftpile kids to results for Cree children in James Bay, Quebec. More children in Driftpile were overweight or obese, compared to children in James Bay (determined by BMI: Body Mass Index). Many children with a healthy weight still had what is called “central adiposity”. What is “central adiposity”? It means the person’s waist circumference is excessive. They have too much bulk around their middle. A child or adult with central adiposity is at higher risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease, even if they are at a healthy weight. BRAID-Kids also looks at children’s fitness level. The kids do a shuttle run (running back-and-forth), and this shows how fit they are. More kids in Driftpile had unhealthy fitness levels than kids in James Bay. Some Driftpile kids have been tested twice, and overall their results haven’t improved. See page 2 for detailed results of BRAID-Kids testing. The Cree Pride program is part of BRAID-Kids. Cree Pride incorporates traditional Cree beliefs and values surrounding health, well-being and lifestyle. We want to see if kids’ testing results will improve if their parents/guardians take part in the Cree Pride program. The Cree Pride sessions are just getting started, so we haven’t been able to test this yet. More BRAID-Kids testing and shuttle runs will be done during the Nutrition Carnival on April 11th & 12th. There’s still time to sign up! Contact Trina Scott @ (780) 805-9374.

  • 2. How do children in Driftpile compare to Cree children in James Bay? Except for average weight, the results for children in Driftpile were generally worse compared to results for Cree children in James Bay, Quebec. However the numbers of children tested were much smaller in Driftpile and these results are NOT statistically significant. This means that even though the health center staff and the BRAID-kids researchers are worried, we cannot know for sure what these results mean. We would like to see more children and do more tests.
