Table 2.

Population‐attributable fractions (PAFs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for six social determinants on prevalent hypertension and hypertension not controlled by gender.

Women Men
PAF for prevalent hypertension (%)
Low educational attainment 5.4 (4.4–6.5) 1.9 (1.1–2.9)
Not non‐Hispanic White 1.6 (0.2–3.5) 0.7 (−0.1 to 1.7)
Low family income 0.6 (0.1–1.2) 0.3 (−0.5 to 1.1)
Not homeowner 8.2 (7.0–9.8) 5.6 (4.5–6.8)
Unmarried state 5.7 (4.0–7.6) 3.1 (2.2–4.2)
Unemployment 0.7 (−1.1 to 2.5) 2.3 (1.8–2.9)
PAF for uncontrolled hypertension (%)
Low educational attainment 5.6 (2.7–8.7) 2.2 (−0.1–4.8)
Not non‐Hispanic White 8.3 (2.5–15.1) 9.2 (5.9–12.6)
Low family income 4.2 (0.5–8.0) 7.7 (0.4–15.2)
Not homeowner 2.1 (0.3–4.1) 1.6 (−0.1 to 3.4)
Unmarried state 0.8 (−6.2 to 7.8) 1.6 (0.2–3.2)
Unemployment 1.6 (−0.7 to 4.1) 0.9 (−2.0 to 3.9)

Note: Data are PAFs with 95% CIs in parentheses. All adverse social determinants of health (SDH) are added to the model with adjusted for age, current smoking (yes/no), current drinking (yes/no), high level of physical activity (yes/no), sleep duration, sodium intake, body mass index, diagnosed diabetes (yes/no), and taking lipid‐lowering medications (yes/no).
