Biomedical research with Māori and Pacific communities is important to reduce the prevalence and impact of the cardio-metabolic diseases, as precision medicine is implemented in other Aotearoa NZ populations using overseas findings. Genuine engagement with Māori and Pacific communities is needed to ensure positive outcomes for genetic studies, from data collection through to analysis and dissemination. Important is building trust, understanding by researchers of fundamental cultural concepts and implementing protocols that minimise risks and maximise benefits. Approaches that utilise information such as genealogical information and whole genome sequencing technologies will provide new insights into cardio-metabolic conditions-and new interventions for affected individuals and families
