确定柬埔寨难民糖尿病、高血压和高脂血症的发病率，并评估与一般人口相比，其病情得到满意管理的比例。自我报告和实验室/身体健康评估数据来自美国-将2010-2011年居住的柬埔寨难民（N = 331）与2009-2010年国家健康和营养检查调查的美国成年人口（N = 6360）的概率样本进行比较。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经年龄和性别调整的美国人口。被诊断为高血压或高脂血症的柬埔寨难民比美国普通人群的血压和总胆固醇在推荐水平内的可能性更小。应更加注意预防和管理柬埔寨难民社区的糖尿病和心血管疾病危险因素。需要进行研究，以确定这种模式是否延伸到其他难民群体。
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 = 6360) 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. population. 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.
