Association of social determinants of health and their cumulative inequities with risk of hypertension: a population-based study
Adverse SDoH were found to be associated with increased hypertension risk in a cross-sectional analysis, with distinct sex-specific and psychosocial pathways. The partial mediation effect of depression suggests that mental health may play a significant role in linking social disadvantage to hypertension, underscoring the importance of integrating psychosocial considerations into hypertension prevention and management.
