    AbstractHypertension, defined as blood pressure (BP) ≥140/90 mmHg, is one of the most common, yet reversible, risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Globally, 9.40 million people died from hypertension in 2010, accounting for 17.8% of total deaths; disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) caused by hypertension were 170 million person-years, or 7.0% of the total global DALYs.1 Data from China showed that hypertension accounted for 24.6% of all deaths, and 12.0% of total DALYs,2 and the direct medical cost of hypertension in China has reached 36.6 billion yuan per year.3.© 2019 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
