A sample survey was conducted in South Carolina to determine how income and education relate to hypertension, independently of age, race and sex. The results indicated that there was a significant inverse relationship between income and hypertension for Whites (P < 0-0001), but not for Blacks. There was also a statistically significant inverse relationship between education and hypertension for Whites (P < 0-0001) and for Blacks (P < 0-001).
