The authors wish to add the following amendments and corrections to their paper published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health [1].

Page 7, Section 3.3. Associated factors of hypertension: the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for non/ex-drinkers and light drinkers are not consistent with the correspondent numbers in Table 3. The correct OR and 95% CI should be:

Ref indicates reference. All the variables were included as fixed effects in multilevel models; ^a Diabetes was defined as fasting glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/L or reported diagnosis; ^b Dyslipidemia was defined as TC ≥ 6.22 mmol/L, LDL ≥ 4.14 mmol/L, TG ≥ 2.26 mmol/L, or HDL < 1.04 mmol/L.

3.3. Associated Factors of Hypertension

In multilevel logistic analyses of risk factors of hypertension, older age and comorbidities (central obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, or hyperuricemia) were associated with an increased risk of hypertension in both ethnic groups. In the Bouyei, non/ex-drinkers or light drinkers experienced significantly reduced risk than the harmful drinkers (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.42–0.72 for non/ex-drinkers; and OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.41–0.77 for light drinkers). In the Han, better education and having no family history of hypertension were observed to be associated with a decreased risk of hypertension (Table 3).
