N. Dalai, Cui, H., Yan, M., Rile, G., Li, S., and Su, X., Risk factors for the development of essential hypertension in a Mongolian population of China: a case-control study, vol. 13, pp. 3283-3291, 2014.

Lifestyle, habits, diet, and genetics are all important factors associated with the prevalence of hypertension. Many association studies have been performed in the Chinese Han population, whereas data explaining the high prevalence of hypertension in the Mongolian population remain scarce. In the present study, we aimed to determine the factors associated with the development of essential hypertension in Mongolians. A total of 194 hypertensive cases and 201 controls from Dongwu County were enrolled in the study.
