A representative sample survey of 1273 persons aged 60 and older living in private households was conducted in an area covering over half of Cambodia's population which includes Phnom Penh and the five most populated provinces (Kampong Cham, Kandal, Prey Veng, Battambang, and Takeo). 1 The location of the provinces covered are shown in Figure 1.

Samples were drawn separately for Phnom Penh and the other five provinces taken collectively using somewhat different procedures for the two domains. In addition, in sampled households we interviewed only one elderly member regardless of.
