Summary
Hauora: Māori Standards of Health IV is the latest edition in the Hauora series, and covers the period 2000 to 2005. The first three chapters situate the health statistics within the broader context, including the theoretical, demographic and socioeconomic contexts. This is followed by chapters on mortality, public hospitalisations, cancer and mental health.

This volume of Hauora also includes a number of topic-based chapters from invited authors, including chapters on cardiovascular disease; diabetes; respiratory disease; oral health; disability; sleep problems; occupational safety and health; health in prisons; and the National Primary Medical Care Survey.

Hauora: Māori Standards of Health IV was funded by the Ministry of Health and the Health Research Council.

Segi and WHO standard population tables
In the main body of Hauora: Māori Standards of Health IV age-standardised rates were age-standardised to the 2001 Māori population. The rationale for this choice of standard population can be read on p. 232 in Appendix 1: Methods. These appendices provide a selection of tables from the book age-standardised to Segi's World population and the WHO World population. This will allow comparisons with other statistics using Segi or WHO as the standard population.
