The trend of NCDs in Cambodia has increased, especially with cardiovascular disease and the underlying risk factors remain tobacco and alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, metabolic risk factor and physical inactivity. The high-risk groups for NCDS are males and females aged 30 to 69 years. However, there is a higher prevalence among men than women in some risk factors such as smoking and alcohol consumption, especially among men aged 18 and 49 years old.
