Article Synopsis
- The study explores the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension (HTN) within the Chinese Wa ethnic group, revealing that 31.03% of participants have HTN, with very low rates of awareness and control.
- High salt intake was notably higher in hypertensive females compared to normotensive individuals, and specific gene variants (SNPs) in the ACE2 gene were identified as risk factors for HTN.
- The research suggests that a combination of certain genetic polymorphisms and high salt consumption significantly raises the risk of developing HTN in this population.
