Hypertension prevalence in Chinese adults rose significantly, with low awareness and control rates. Research explored risk factors, vascular mechanisms, and effective, affordable treatments, including traditional herbs, to combat this leading cause of heart disease and stroke.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Research
  • Epidemiology
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Long-term investigations since 1959 in China focused on hypertension prevalence, vascular mechanisms, and treatment.
  • Studies identified increasing hypertension rates and low awareness, treatment, and control among Chinese adults.

Purpose:

  • To analyze hypertension prevalence trends, risk factors, and treatment efficacy in China.
  • To investigate the vascular mechanisms of hypertension and the effects of traditional Chinese herbs.
  • To establish diagnostic criteria and evaluate affordable treatment strategies for hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases.

Summary:

  • Hypertension prevalence in Chinese adults increased from 5.11% in 1959 to 11.26% in 1991, with awareness, treatment, and control rates at 26.3%, 12.1%, and 2.8% respectively.

  • Key risk factors identified include overweight, alcohol consumption, and diets low in potassium, calcium, and animal protein, and high in sodium.
  • Research established hypertension diagnostic criteria, identified aortitis as a cause of renal vascular hypertension, and demonstrated the benefits of affordable treatments and traditional herbs like Rauwolfia verticilata and Radix Pueraricae.

    • Impact:

    • Established hypertension diagnosis and staging criteria, identifying secondary hypertension causes.
    • Demonstrated the effectiveness of affordable treatments and traditional herbs for hypertension, stroke, and myocardial infarction.
    • Provided insights into cellular mechanisms of hypertension, particularly Ca2+ transport in vascular smooth muscle.
