Abstract
One potential impact of population ageing is increased health-care costs particularly devoted to cardiovascular disease (CVD). In New Zealand, between 2001 and 2003, 53% of deaths of those aged 85 years and older (also known as advanced age) were attributable to CVD. Māori, indigenou to New Zealand, record a higher mortality from circulatory diseases at a younger age;; the average age of first stroke for Ma¯ ori and non-Māori New Zealanders was 61 and 76 years old, respectively.
