If you look at different websites, you may get different numbers, but the average Australian lives approximately 20 years longer than the average Cambodian.
The average Japanese actually lives a little longer than the average Australian. So Asians can have long healthy lives.
Not just that, Cambodians get health problems 20 years younger. It is common in Cambodia to meet people in their 30s who have had a stroke. Then the children have to support disabled parents in their 30s.
If you talk to Cambodians about this, they would like to have long healthy lives, but most wont change their diet.
This. In a country where easily tested for dieseases such as diabetes are not recognized, life expectancy will always stay low.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I don't know, if it was adjusted for war, famine and hard times, and accidental deaths, what would the life expectancy be?

Re: Cambodian Food
You are talking about a few good meals, I am talking about nearly 20 years of prison food. Sure, I've had a few good meals, but only if my wife's workload allows her the time. We don't live like landed Gentry, work takes priority and because of that most of our meals are catch as catch can. The patina wore off years ago. I consider myself to be a very "lucky" man. The meals are boring, if nutritious in the.main, but family life is solid.orussey98 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2019 12:46 amWell.

The bucolic notion that rural cuisine is rsuperior is an illusion. They work hard and would happily devour the table the meal sits on. I’ve been living in rural Cambodia for almost 2 decades and am weary of the local market"s breakfast selection, rice 3-4 times a day or homemade backyard soup, nutritious but boring. Their food is of the same quality as their rice wine. Imminently forgettable, but it gets the job done. Primarily food is viewed for it's utilitarian functions. Taste buds be damned and pull up a seat stranger!
I had the best food in province fresh numba chok, good rice, fish, desserts, soup, etc
Re: Cambodian Food
Damn, I hope that was a joke!"
I have no idea how explorer arrives at this statistic, but like the rest of his encyclopedic
"knowledge" of Cambodia it is highly suspect. Family farms are dying out since it is so damn difficult to break even. That would be the most likely occupation to fit that percentile.

Depends on where you look I guess.

Re: Cambodian Food
Seems legit, 54% combined in agriculture & industry, whisk off some for management levels & you're probably around 50%.
