To determine rates of diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia in Cambodian refugees, and to assess the proportion whose conditions are satisfactorily managed in comparison to the general population. Self-report and laboratory/physical health assessment data obtained from a household probability sample of U.S.-residing Cambodian refugees (N = 331) in 2010-2011 were compared to a probability sample of the adult U.S. population (N = 6,360) from the 2009-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Prevalence of diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia in Cambodian refugees greatly exceeded rates found in the age- and gender-adjusted U.S.
Cambodian refugees with diagnosed hypertension or hyperlipidemia were less likely than their counterparts in the general U.S. population to have blood pressure and total cholesterol within recommended levels. Increased attention should be paid to prevention and management of diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk factors in the Cambodian refugee community. Research is needed to determine whether this pattern extends to other refugee groups.
为了确定柬埔寨难民中糖尿病、高血压和高脂血症的发病率,并评估与普通人群相比病情得到满意控制的比例。将2010 - 2011年从居住在美国的柬埔寨难民家庭概率样本(N = 331)中获得的自我报告以及实验室/身体健康评估数据,与2009 - 2010年国家健康与营养检查调查中美国成年人群概率样本(N = 6360)的数据进行比较。柬埔寨难民中糖尿病、高血压和高脂血症的患病率大大超过了在美国按年龄和性别调整后的人群中的发病率。
被诊断患有高血压或高脂血症的柬埔寨难民,其血压和总胆固醇处于推荐水平的可能性低于美国普通人群中的同龄人。应更加关注柬埔寨难民社区中糖尿病和心血管疾病风险因素的预防和管理。需要开展研究以确定这种模式是否也适用于其他难民群体。
