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.
