- Description
- Background:This scoping review aims to describe the body of nutrition inter-vention and dietary assessment research undertaken with Khmer populations in Cambodia, as well as summarise the nutrition knowledge base and highlight priority areas for future research. Methods: Five databases and the grey literature were searched, following PRISMA‐ScR guidelines. Studies involving dietary assessment or nutrition inter-ventions published after 1992 were identified using specific search terms and extracted to a customised data extraction table for categorisation and analysis.Study participants were Khmer people of any age and gender, living in rural or urban Cambodia. Results: Of the 100 included studies, 58 were dietary assessment only studies, 24 were nutrition interventions only, and 18 studies involved both assessment of intake and an intervention. Sixty‐eight percent of study populations were mothers and young children, of which 52 studies focused on children aged under 5 years. Nineteen interventions involved supplementation and six trialled fortification of rice or fish sauce. Anaemia was the most common nutrition condition studied (n= 17), followed by malnutrition (n= 15) and malnutrition risk factors (n= 11). General nutrition status was explored in 25 studies, and individual micro nutrients that were studied included iron (n= 27), zinc (n= 6), vitamin A (n= 4) and thiamine (n= 3). Conclusions: Diet‐related research in Khmer populations in Cambodia has pre-dominantly focused on dietary assessment or evaluation of interventions aimed at reducing malnutrition and resolving micro nutrient deficiencies. Areas identified as emerging needs included non‐communicable diseases, the ageing population and non‐iron deficiency anaemia.
