| Abstract |
Background: Hypertension (HT) has been one of the leading global risk
factors for health and the leading cause of death in Thailand for decades. The
influence of socioeconomic factors on HT has been varied and inconclusive.
The aim of this study was to determine the association between socioeconomic
determinants and HT in Thailand.
Methods: This study used data from the National Socioeconomic Survey, a
cross-sectional study that was conducted by the National Statistical Office of
Thailand in the years 2005, 2006 and 2007. In our analysis, data were collected
on gender, age, marital status, smoking status, education, status of work,
occupation, current liability (short-term debt), household monthly income,
residential area, region and previously diagnosed HT by a physician.
Results: The odds of having HT were significantly higher among those who
had household monthly income, education, residential area and region. The
participants who had monthly income of <10001 baht (2005: AOR = 3.19,
95%CI:1.47 - 6.92; 2006: AOR 2.53, 95%CI:1.37 - 4.69; 2007: AOR = 3.35,
95%CI: 1.97 - 7.00), were living in Bangkok compared with the Northeast
region (2005: AOR = 1.72, 95%CI:1.37 - 2.17; 2006: AOR = 2.44, 95%CI: 1.89
- 3.13; 2007: AOR = 2.63, 95%CI 2.08 - 3.45), lived as an urban resident
(2005: AOR= 1.32, 95%CI: 1.12 - 1.56; 2006: AOR= 1.21, 95%CI: 1.02 - 1.43;
2007: AOR= 1.47, 95%CI: 1.18 - 1.62), and finished primary education (2005:
AOR =1.21, 95%CI: 1.03 - 1.43; 2006: AOR= 1.23, 95%CI: 1.04 - 1.46; 2007:
AOR= 1.18, 95%CI: 1.01 - 1.38) when controlling for other covariates.
Conclusion: This study indicated that socioeconomic disparity has an
influence on HT. Those with low educational attainment, low income, lived in
urban regions, and were metropolitan residents (Bangkok) were vulnerable to
HT. |
