<i>He Tūhononga Whaiaro</i>: A Kaupapa Māori Approach to <i>Mate Wareware</i> (Dementia) and Cognitive Assessment of Older Māori

Abstract

The findings embedded in cultural values improve understanding of dementia (<i>mate wareware</i>) in Māori. These themes can inform the assessment of older Māori with cognitive impairment. For those without cognitive impairment, the <i>Tūhononga Whaiaro</i> framework suggests factors potentially crucial for healthy aging in Māori.
