Abstract
Non-communicable disease is the leading cause of death globally and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major contributor [ 1 ]. China is the most populous country in the world and has been experiencing a progressive increase in CVD, with recent studies showing that 30% of the population in China has ≥ 3 risk factors for CVD [ 2 ]. This effect appears to be more pronounced in urban areas where a western lifestyle has been adopted.
