Expert Solution
Step 1

One of the most important biomedical factors for the health issue of coronary heart disease among the older generations of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population is the smoking of tobacco. Another biomedical factor is the poor nutrition of these people. The improper food habits and diets, resulting in obesity is another biomedical factor for this health issue. Insufficient physical activity is another biomedical factor. 

The health behaviour factor responsible for this health issue among the older generations of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population is the negligency of these people regarding their health and welfare. The people of this population are not at all concerned about their health, and therefore indulge themselves in unhealthy practices like smoking tobacco, and many more. 

The lack of inappropriate support from the society results in a low-feeling and low morale among the older generations of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. This results in depression making it a physchological factor for this health issue of coronary heart disease. 

The safety factors that are responsible for the heath issue of coronary heart disease among the older generations of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population are the risks of high blood pressure and the risk of high cholesterol among these people.
