Abstract

|
|
The purpose of this study was to determine anthropometric measurements, dietary nutrient intakes, simple food intake
frequencies, and rates of obesity in Cambodian women. A total 186 women, aged 20-69 years, living in Kampong Spue
province of Cambodia and having the responsibility to prepare family meals participated in this study. Height and weight
were measured body mass index (BMI) was calculated, and one-day 24-hour recall and food frequency questionnaires were conducted. In total, 18.8% were underweight, 49.5% were normal weight, 13.4% were overweight, and 18.3% were obese according to the World Health Organization BMI standard for Asians. No significant difference in height by obesity level was determined (p≥0.05). The mean energy intake was 1571.2 kcal/day and protein intake was 43.6 g/day. There were significant differences in protein, niacin, and vitamin C intakes by obesity level (p<0.05). The prevalence of subjects
consuming vitamins and minerals less than 75% of Recommended Dietary Allowances was 73-99%. All Cambodian
women consumed rice ≥1 time/day. Approximately 50% of subjects reported ≥1 time/day intake frequency of bread,
cookies, and chips. In total, 35% indicated no intake of beans or bean products. For intake frequencies of carbonated
beverages and sports drinks, there was a significant difference by obesity level (p<0.05). These results may be very helpful to prepare nutrition education programs for Cambodian women
