Building a healthy China and achieving common prosperity are important
missions in the new era. China has formulated the outline of “the
Healthy China 2030 Plan”. Currently, the prevention and control of
mNCDs is an important and arduous task. Hypertension is a common
“silent killer”, results from both genetic factors and lifestyle, and
the latter closely links to the “Health Essential (HE) 5” including
“environment-sleep-emotion-exercise-diet” intervention [3]. For
example, this new type of hypertension was referred as to “type C
hypertension (CtH)” [4]. Therefore, management and/or
self-management of hypertension in clinical should not only rely on
drugs, surgery and other treatments, but also improve the unhealthy
lifestyle and control the “HE 5” related risk factors at source, since
prevention is better than treatment, and early prevention is the best
cure.
