Abstract

In Aotearoa, health inequities for Māori are seen across the life course. These inequities are influenced by the social determinants of health and the cumulative effects of colonisation. Total cardiovascular disease mortality rate among Māori is more than twice as high as that among non-Māori. This presentation will discuss the findings from a whakawhiti kōrero (oral exchanges that occur to bring enlightenment to any given situation) process about the barriers and enablers to maintaining a healthy nutrition lifestyle as an essential component to reduce the risk of CVD.
