Background: Based on the cross-sectional and cohort studies, exposure to As via drinking water can cause hypertension. Methods: We searched PubMed, ISI WOS, and Scopus for relevant studies up to 1 January 2018 using related keywords. The meta-analysis was done on 10 studies (n ¼ 28255) that report Odds Ratio for hypertension. The extracted ORs between As concentration and hypertension were pooled using random effect models. Study heterogeneity was analyzed using I2. Results: The estimated adjusted OR for association between As and hypertension was 1.44 (95% CI: 1.12, 1.84) with I2 ¼ 71%. Dose-Response analysis showed a linear relationship between As and hypertension (OR ¼ 1.0008 95% CI: 1.0003, 1.001). In general, by increase of each unit in arsenic concentration, odds of the hypertension would increase as 0.08%. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between As exposure and hypertension.
