A comparative study of the health of elite Maori and Caucasian children in Auckland.
A group of socially elite Maori and part-Maori parents kept a 10 month record (February to November 1972) of their children's health. The majority of a Caucasian control group were matched for socio-economic status by the Maori parents. The majority of both parent groups were of professional or skilled tradesman status whose income exceeded the then current New Zealand average. The results show no overall difference between the morbidity of the two racial groups studied.
