Association Between Education Attainment and Hypertension Among Community-Dwelling Older Black and White Adults: The National Health & Trends Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
ObjectiveOur study examined the association between educational attainment and hypertension among older Black and White adults.MethodsA sample of older Black and White adults (N = 3,212) from the National Health & Aging Trends Study (NHATS). The predictor variable, educational attainment, was measured with three education categories (less than high school, high school or equivalent, and greater than high school). The dependent variable, hypertension, was measured by asking respondents if their doctor diagnosed them with hypertension. Covariates included demographics and health-related variables. We conducted logistic regressions to identify the association between educational attainment and hypertension.ResultsAdjusted stratified models showed that older Black adults with beyond high school educational attainment had 20% higher odds of having hypertension, compared to older Black adults with an educational attainment of high school and lower. Adjusted stratified models showed that older White adults had 8% lower odds of having hypertension, compared to older White adults with an educational attainment of high school and lower.ConclusionThere are notable differences in hypertension among older Black and White adults which are associated with higher levels of educational attainment.
