Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: To assess the relative importance of major socioeconomic determinants of population health on the burden of hypertension in Low-and-Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).
METHODS: Country-level data from 138 countries based on World Development Indicators 2020 were used for correlation and linear regression analyses of eight socioeconomic predictors of hypertension: current health expenditure, domestic general government health expenditure per capita, GDP per capita, adult literacy rate, unemployment rate, urban population, multidimensional poverty index, and total population.
RESULTS: The median prevalence of age-standardised hypertension was 25.8% across the 138 countries, ranging from 13.7% in Peru to 33.4% in Niger. For every 10% increase in the unemployment rate, the prevalence of hypertension increased by 2.70%. For every 10% increase in the percentage of people living in urban areas, hypertension was reduced by 0.63%.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings revealed that countries with high GDP, more investment in health and an improved multidimensional poverty index have a lower prevalence of hypertension.

摘要：
目的：评估人口健康的主要社会经济因素对中低收入国家高血压负担的相对重要性。
方法：使用基于2020年世界发展指标的138个国家/地区的数据对高血压的八个社会经济预测因子进行了相关性和线性回归分析：当前的卫生支出，国内一般政府人均卫生支出，人均GDP,成人识字率,失业率,城市人口,多维贫困指数，和总人口。
结果：在138个国家中，年龄标准化高血压的中位患病率为25.8%，从秘鲁的13.7%到尼日尔的33.4%不等。失业率每增加10%,高血压患病率增加了2.70%。城市人口比例每增加10%,高血压降低了0.63%。
结论：研究结果表明，GDP高的国家，更多的健康投资和改善的多维贫困指数降低了高血压的患病率.
