Medical Statistics
It's about the heart of the Pacific.
Is there a difference between the health risks for European, Maori and Pacific people living in New Zealand?
My study revealed that the length of residence for immigrants related directly to socio-economic and cardiovascular risk status.
Newer immigrants on average had lower socio-economic status and more adverse CV risk factors.
The challenge now is how to lower those risks.
