This population-based health survey was carried out in Florianopolis, Brazil, to assess the association between adult systolic blood pressure (SBP) and contextual income level, after controlling for potential individual-level confounders. A statistically significant negative association between SBP levels and contextual income was identified after adjusting for individual-level characteristics. SBP levels in the highest and in the intermediate tertiles of contextual income were 5.78 and 2.82 mm Hg lower, respectively, than that observed in the bottom tertile. The findings suggest an association between income area level and blood pressure, regardless of well-known individual-level hypertension risk factors.
这项基于人群的健康调查在巴西弗洛里亚诺波利斯进行，旨在评估成人收缩压（SBP）与背景收入水平之间的关联，在控制潜在的个体水平混杂因素后。在调整个体水平特征后，发现 SBP 水平与背景收入之间存在统计学显著的负相关。在最高和中间收入 tertiles 中，SBP 水平分别比最低 tertiles 低 5.78 和 2.82 毫米汞柱。研究结果表明，无论个体水平的高血压危险因素如何，收入地区水平与血压之间存在关联。
