“…The present study’s results for the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes and dyslipidemia were similar or higher than the prevalence of hypertension (34.7%) and diabetes (9.6%) in urban Cambodia in 2012, which was reported by Wagner et al in 2018 [ 6 ]. Moreover, the prevalence was higher than the prevalence of hypertension (29.7%) and diabetes under treatment (5.6%) in urban Cambodia reported by the STEPS survey in 2010 [ 5 ].…”

“…A study published in 2010 examined the risk factors for NCDs in Cambodia and reported the prevalence of overweight and obesity as 15.4% and 1.9%, respectively, which was higher in women, whereas that of hypertension and diabetes were 11.2% and 2.9%, respectively, and were significantly higher in urban areas than in rural areas [ 5 ]. Wagner et al reported a higher prevalence of diabetes and obesity in the urban areas of Cambodia [ 6 ]. One of the main reasons for the high prevalence of metabolic risk factors in urban areas is the change in the living environment due to urbanization, which is caused by economic development [ 7 ].…”

Background The incidence of noncommunicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus, is increasing in Cambodia. Urbanization and lifestyle changes due to rapid economic development have affected the components of metabolic syndrome (MetS). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of MetS, MetS components, and health status among Cambodians living in urban areas. Methods This cross-sectional study enrolled adult Cambodians (age ≥ 20 years) who underwent a health checkup at a Japanese hospital in Phnom Penh. MetS was defined based on the harmonized diagnostic definition from the joint interim statement. Results Among the 6090 (3174 men and 2916 women) participants who were enrolled in the study, the prevalence of MetS was 60.1% in men and 52.4% in women. The prevalence of elevated blood pressure was 73.2% in men and 65.3% in women, and was the highest MetS component in both men and women. In contrast, the lowest prevalence rates were observed for abdominal obesity (44.8%) in men and for high triglyceride levels (33.5%) in women. The MetS group showed a significantly higher proportion of patients with hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and obesity compared with the non-MetS group. Conclusion The high prevalence of MetS in this study was attributed to urbanization, as in economically developed countries. It is necessary to explore the lifestyle habits of Cambodians that contribute to MetS and to develop preventive measures to reduce the incidence and prevalence of MetS.
