Background  This study examines the socioeconomic differentials in trends in the prevalence of hypertension and pre-hypertension and hypertension awareness, treatment, and control in rural Southwestern China.    Methods  Two cross-sectional interviews and health examination surveys were administered in rural Yunnan Province, including 6,350 consenting participants in 2009 and 6,359 consenting participants in 2016 (aged ≥ 35 years). Participant demographics, socioeconomic status (SES), and ethnicity, along with information about hypertension awareness, treatment, and control, were collected using similar questionnaires in the two surveys. The participants’ blood pressure levels were also measured.    Results  From 2009 to 2016, the prevalence of hypertension substantially increased from 28.4% to 39.5% ( P  < 0.01), and awareness and control rose from 42.2 and 25.8% to 53.1 ( P  < 0.01) and 30.6% ( P  < 0.05), respectively. Although people with a higher education level also had higher awareness and control rates than the lower education level ones, there were no conspicuous differences in the improvement of awareness and control between publics with different education levels over the 7 years studied. Increases were observed in both rates of awareness and control in people with a high level of income ( P  < 0.01). However, only the awareness rate increased in participants with a low level of income. Furthermore, the prevalence ( P  < 0.01) and treatment ( P  < 0.05) of hypertension were higher in the Han people than in ethnic minorities.    Conclusions  Individual SES has clear associations with trends in the prevalence, awareness, and control of hypertension. Future interventions to improve hypertension prevention and control should be tailored to address individual SES.
