A large burden of hypertension and diabetes remains unidentified and inadequately treated in Cambodia and Mongolia, highlighting the need for multifaceted primary prevention strategies.
Dugee et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular disease risk factors (hypertension, diabetes) (n=9,972). Country of residence (Mongolia) vs. Cambodia was evaluated on Prevalence of hypertension (p=<0.001). Early identification and management of cardiovascular risk factors remains limited in Cambodia and Mongolia, with only 24.1% to 28.6% of hypertensives and 15.9% to 23.9% of diabetics achieving adequate control.
