Methods With the principle of stratified cluster sampling, 5,500 residents aged 18 years and above and living in local areas for more than 6 months were randomly selected from 8 administrative villages or communities of 8 towns or streets in Jiangyin City from October to December, 2015,and then questionnaire surveys and physical examinations were conducted. Data statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 18.0 software. Results Finally,5,482 valid questionnaires were collected.The prevalence rate of hypertension among adults in Jiangyin City in 2015 was 21.07%, and the rate showed an upward trend with the increasing age (P<0.001). The prevalence of hypertension was higher in males than in females (P<0.001). Multifactor logisitic regression analysis showed that gender, age, educational background, BMI, waist circumference, alcohol consumption, diabetes and hyperlipidemia were the independent risk factors for hypertension.
