    We calculate the annihilation decay widths of spin-singlet heavy quarkonia hc,hbh_c, h_b and ηb\eta_b} into light hadrons with both QCD and relativistic corrections at order O(αsv2)O(\alpha_{s}v^{2}) in nonrelativistic QCD. With appropriate estimates for the long-distance matrix elements by using the potential model and operator evolution method, we find that our predictions of these decay widths are consistent with recent experimental measurements. We also find that the O(αsv2)O(\alpha_{s}v^{2}) corrections are small for bbˉb\bar{b} states but substantial for ccˉc\bar{c} states. In particular, the negative contribution of O(αsv2)O(\alpha_{s}v^{2}) correction to the hch_{c} decay can lower the decay width, as compared with previous predictions without the O(αsv2)O(\alpha_{s}v^{2}) correction, and thus result in a good agreement with the recent BESIII measurement.Comment: version published in PRD, 30 pages, 8 figures, more discussions on LDMEs adde
