Pacific families in New Zealand experience high rates of type 2 diabetes and unequal access to health-supporting resources.

Inequities in exposure to occupational risk factors between Māori and non-Māori workers in Aotearoa New Zealand
BACKGROUND: Health inequities between indigenous and non-indigenous people are well documented. However, the contribution of differential exposure to risk factors in the occupational environment remains unclear. This study assessed differences in the prevalence of self-reported exposure to disease risk factors, including dust and chemicals, physical factors and organisational factors, between Māori and non-Māori workers in New Zealand. METHODS: P…
Infections, medication use, and the prevalence of symptoms of asthma, rhinitis, and eczema in childhood

Methods: The study measured the association between infections, and medication use early in life and the risk of asthma at age 6–7 years. It involved 1584 children who had been notified to public health services with serious infectio…
