| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted epidemiological surveys and qualitative studies regarding noncommunicable disease (NCD) risk factors, targeting migrant foreign workers in Palau and residents of an urban poor community in Bangladesh. We found that the prevalence of overweight was lower in the Filipinos in Palau than the Paluans. In Bangladesh, both underweight and overweight were prevalent among the urban poor men but overweight was highly prevalent among the women. The prevalence of diabetes based on HbA1c values was much higher than the WHO estimated prevalence based on the values of fasting blood glucose. The qualitative study showed that the poor community people perceived poverty was the main cause of NCD and their daily diets might be unhealthy. They were willing to improve their health and women groups walked early in the morning for their health.
