The mean age of Pacific Peoples was 75.8\u2009years (SD 8.4) and NZ Europeans 82.6\u2009years (SD 7.5). After adjusting for age and sex, Pacific Peoples were less likely to smoke, consume alcohol, have coronary heart disease, fall, report loneliness or have difficulty hearing than NZ Europeans. In contrast, Pacific Peoples were more likely to have diabetes, cognitive impairment, congestive heart failure, require a mobility aid or be bed bound, experience bladder incontinence, have difficulty understanding others or have poorer vision than NZ Europeans.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Older Pacific Peoples who were assessed for home support and aged residential care have more complex needs and require services at an earlier age than NZ Europeans.
