Improving life expectancy and health status: a comparison of Indigenous Australians and New Zealand Maori. ROSS, K. & TAYLOR, J. Journal of Population Research, Special 2002:219–238, 2002. abstract bibtex The health status of Indigenous Australians continues to lag behind not only that of other Australians, but also that of comparable minority Indigenous populations worldwide. This paper focuses on comparisons between Indigenous Australians and Maori in an attempt to discern a model of health that may explain the persistent high mortality of the former. Differences in environmental health, access to health care, socio-economic status and social gradients are examined. Although no firm conclusions are possible, given available data, it appears that differences in these factors are not enough to explain the health differential. For further explanation, the role of psychosocial factors and treaty obligations for health care provision are explored.
