Mäori & Public Health: Ethics A discussion paper Preamble Being asked to write a paper on Mäori perspectives on Public Health ethics raises issues for me.

WHO (2015) defines obesity as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation. Obesity and being overweight may cause health impairments such as cardiovascular diseases, mainly heart disease and stroke, diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders and some cancers.
