N2  - There is a large health gap between the Indigenous people of New Zealand, the M?ori, and the non- Indigenous population of New Zealand. Therefore, this research investigates mortality patterns and existing gaps for both population groups using a life table analysis, which provides life expectancy and a lifespan variability measure. M?ori have a disadvantaged mortality pattern compared to non-M?ori. Trends in life expectancy and lifespan variability show substantial improvements from 1948 onwards. However, further improvements in averting M?ori premature deaths is desirable, especially in males. In 2016, life expectancy was 6.7 years lower for M?ori males and 5.5 years lower for M?ori females compared to their non-M?ori counterparts. For both sexes, lifespan variability is over 20% higher for M?ori. The ages of 50-79 mainly explain the gaps. This corresponds with the large contribution of late- onset diseases as circulatory diseases and cancers.
