Abstract
The ageing of the population globally and in New Zealand (NZ) was the main driver for this study. In Aoteoroa, New Zealand, little is known about Māori and non-Māori of advanced age, yet population projections predict a trebling of the number of Māori and a doubling of non-Māori octogenarians in the next 10 years.
This study was set up under joint leadership of Māori and non-Māori investigators and was a collaborative effort between the University of Auckland, University of Otago, Massey University and Auckland University of Technology in NZ.
