Parental educational status independently predicts the risk of prevalent hypertension in young adults

Abstract Identification of individuals at risk of hypertension development based on socio-economic status have been inconclusive, due to variable definitions of low socio-economic status. We investigated whether educational status of individuals or their parents predicts prevalent hypertension in yo...
