Abstract
Introduction
Raised blood pressure is an important cardiovascular risk factor in Cambodia; however, national averages may obscure substantial local geographic heterogeneity. We assessed the spatial distribution of raised blood pressure and its demographic, metabolic, behavioural, built-environment, and environmental correlates using the 2023 Cambodia STEPwise approach to noncommunicable disease (NCD) risk factor surveillance (STEPS) survey.
