Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risk factor of hypertension in China. METHODS: The results of 24 case-control studies from 1989 to 2001 were analyzed by Meta-analysis method in this study. Random effect model (D-L method) and fix effect model (M-H method) were applied for data processing. RESULTS: The pooled OR values (95% CI) of drinking, smoking, over-intake of salt, family history of hypertension, quickness to temper and overweight were 1.194 (1.184-1.203), 1.100 (1.096-1.104), 1.165 (1.157-1.173), 2.662 (2.550-2.779), 2.524 (1.902-3.348), 1.616 (1.600-1.633), respectively. CONCLUSION: Drinking alcohol, smoking, over-intake of salt, family history of hypertension, quickness to temper and overweight were the important risk factors of hypertension in China.
