In many cases (not all), the aboriginal missions encouraged the loss of aboriginal culture by often trying to impose white Australian values, culture and language on the traditional indigenous people of Australia. These changes were not relevant to the Aborigines. Even the changed diet of the Aborigines in these missions led to problems with obesity and other health issues. On the positive side, the threat posed by graziers and pastoralists (as well as even police and government authorities) was minimised when Aborigines were on these protected lands.

No matter what your condition black people will always be malnuorished.
Culture is the the set of norms, beliefs and practices of certain persons, this influences their perspective about their health and health in general making each of us unique in handling different events about health.
You are analyzing influences when you attempt to recognize the effects of culture, media, and friends on your health habits.
Culture can have a big effect on a person's health. If a person lives in a culture where eating fatty foods and being sedentary is normal, then a person will be more inclined to adopt that lifestyle.
"Aboriginal health is affected by a modern diet high in fat with low nutritional value. Indigenous people in Australia have an increased risk diseases including diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease."
Other than genetics and what your culture typically does/eats, it doesn't.
