Abstract: Objective To study the relationship between Miao drum and hypertension in the Miao women of the countryside . Methods A survey of blood pressure measurement and questionnaire investigation were conducted among 1 069 Miao females ,by using cluster multistage sampling in countryside of Hunan ,Hubei ,Chongqing ,and Guizhou .A case-control analysis for 226 cases with new diagnosed hypertension and 226 controls with normal blood pressure .Results Among 1 069 sample ,the standardized prevalence rate of hypertemion was 24 .5% .There were significant differences in the prevalence rates of hypertension between the different age groups(χ2 =174 .46 ,P<0 .01) .The single factor logistic regression analysis(OR=0 .383 ,95% CI:0 .262-0 .558)and multi-conditional logistic regression analysis(OR=0 .379 ,95% CI:0 .255-0 .565)showed that Miao drum was probably protective factor for hypertension in the Miao women of the countryside .Conclusion Miao drum was probably protective factor for hyperten-sion in the Miao women of the countryside in Hunan ,Hubei ,Chongqing ,and Guizhou .Long-term adherence to participate in miao drum exercise may prevent high blood pressure .
