iabetes prevalence has been rising more rapidly in low and middle income countries. In Myanmar WHO STEP survey, a
high intake of FV (fruit and vegetable) was associated with lower odds of hypertriglyceridemia among men and women.
It was also associated with cholesterol levels, negatively among women and positively among men. Myanmar's traditional food
tends to have a lot of fats and carbohydrates. Recently, dietary habits of Myanmar residents have been westernizing. More than
200,000 deaths annually among the Thai population are owing to chronic non-communicable diseases and about 30,000 deaths
are owing to diabetes, a leading cause of death in Thailand. With rapidly emerging T2DM, prevalence among adults has risen
from 2.3% in 1991 to 8.0% in 20155. Over 4 millionThai adults live with diabetes, making it the top cause of disability-adjusted
life years lost for Thai women and the seventh cause for men. In total 600 T2DM patients will be recruited (both side) to have
face to face questioners interview dietry habits, physical activity, salt and sugar measurement from the food. This study will
investigates the occurrence of DM in citizens of the Yangon Region, Myanmar and Chiang-mai, Thailand. The comparison of
pre-test results of the actual dietary habits and activity habits of adult of Myanmar and Thailand showed the factor that the
prevalence of T2DM in urban Myanmar is extremely high.
