Causes of international increases in older age life expectancy
Global, regional, and national prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adults during 1980–2013
A collaborative approach to bridging the research-policy gap through the development of policy advice software
We have developed a software-based tool to support a dynamic micro-simulation model of life-course development (to age 13) as an aid to policy makers assessing the impact of policies affecting children. We demonstrate how this approach bridges the research-policy gap by creating: (1) an easy transfer of evidence in a form that policymakers can use (for example, ‘What is the policy influence of X on Y?’); and (2) a ‘pull’ system of knowledge trans…
Migration and Pacific Mortality
Pacific people living in New Zealand have higher mortality rates than New Zealand residents of European/Other ethnicity. The aim of this paper is to see whether Pacific mortality rates vary by natality and duration of residence. We used linked census-mortality information for 25- to 74-year-olds in the 2001 census followed for up to three years. Hierarchical Bayesian modeling provided a means of handling sparse data. Posterior mortality rates wer…
Self-Reported Experience of Racial Discrimination and Health Care Use in New Zealand
Experience of racial discrimination in both health care and other settings may influence health care use and experiences of care and is a potential pathway to poor health
The pervasive effects of racism
Mortality among the working age population receiving incapacity benefits in New Zealand, 1981-2004
Application of a System Dynamics Model to Inform Investment in Smoking Cessation Services in New Zealand
Objectives. We estimated the long-term effects of smoking cessation interventions to inform government decision-making regarding investment in tobacco control. Methods. We extracted data from the 2006 New Zealand Tobacco Use Survey and other sources and developed a system dynamics model with the iThink computer simulation package. The model derived estimates of population cessation rates from smoking behaviors and applied these over a 50-year per…
Do ethnic and socio-economic inequalities in mortality vary by region in New Zealand? An application of hierarchical Bayesian modelling
Effects of self-reported racial discrimination and deprivation on Māori health and inequalities in New Zealand
What potential has tobacco control for reducing health inequalities? The New Zealand situation
In this Commentary, we aim to synthesize recent epidemiological data on tobacco and health inequalities for New Zealand and present it in new ways. We also aim to describe both existing and potential tobacco control responses for addressing these inequalities. In New Zealand smoking prevalence is higher amongst Māori and Pacific peoples (compared to those of "New Zealand European" ethnicity) and amongst those with low socioeconomic position (SEP)…

Nutrition and the burden of disease in New Zealand
Objective To estimate the burden of disease due to selected nutrition-related risk factors (high total blood cholesterol, high systolic blood pressure, high body mass index (BMI) and inadequate vegetable and fruit intake) in 1997, as well as the burden that could potentially be avoided in 2011 if small, favourable changes in the current risk factor distribution were to occur. Design Data on risk factor levels, disease burden and risk associations…
Mortality attributable to higher-than-optimal body mass index in New Zealand
Objectives To estimate the burden of mortality in New Zealand due to higher-than-optimal body mass index (BMI) in 1997, as well as mortality that could be avoided in 2011 with feasible changes in mean population BMI. Setting New Zealand. Design Comparative risk assessment methodology was used to estimate the attributable and avoidable mortality due to high BMI. Outcomes assessed were ischaemic heart disease (IHD), ischaemic stroke, type 2 diabete…
Ethnic Inequalities in Cancer Survival in New Zealand
We explored the contribution of stage at diagnosis to ethnic disparities in cancer survival in New Zealand. We linked 115811 adult patients with invasive cancer registered on the cancer registry (1994 to 2002) to mortality data. Age-standardized, 5-year relative survival rates were lowest for Maori, intermediate for Pacific people (otherwise known as Pacific Islanders), and highest for non-Maori/non-Pacific people for many cancers. Stage at diagn…
