Prevalence and Income-Related Equity in Hypertension in Rural China from 1991 to 2011: Differences between Self-Reported and Tested Measures. BMC Health Services Research, 19, 437.
Along with economic growth and living standard improvement, hypertension has become one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in China. Self-reported measures and tested measures of hypertension may differ significantly due to the low awareness of prevalence. The objective of this study is to figure out whether and how self-reported measures differ from tested measures in terms of prevalence and equity.
