Our study indicated that the elderly hypertensive population with high SES may have a better result for BP control. However, we found that BMI/WC plays a suppressing role in this association. This indicated that despite the better BP control observed in elderly hypertensive populations with high SES, BMI and WC might undermine this beneficial relationship. Therefore, implementing strategies for obesity prevention is an efficient way to maintain this beneficial association between high SES and BP control.
