Background: High blood pressure is a major contributor to metabolic syndrome (MS) and the selection for hypertension in most cases is associated with higher prevalence of MS. However, the relation between hypertension subtypes and MS is not well defined. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted during 2004-2006, which undertook cluster multistage sampling to a representation sample in rural villages of Liaoning, China.
