Population

59,402 adults aged 18 years or older from the 2013 Brazilian National Health Survey (PNS)

Outcome

Prevalence of hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg, and/or self-reported use of antihypertensive medications in the last 2 weeks)

Educational inequalities in hypertension prevalence in Brazil are heavily influenced by intersections of gender and race, with clear inverse gradients present in white and brown women but absent in black women and men.
