Globally, individuals with chronic diseases now consume over 80% of all healthcare resources. Set against this depressing projection is decades of epidemiologic work demonstrating that 80%-90% of cardiovascular disease can be prevented via lifestyle and dietary interventions. How can we reconcile such contrasting views toward the future of cardiovascular health in human populations? Herein, we review available sources of evidence that can be used to answer these challenging questions of how and why. In particular, we submit that analytical framework incorporating the 6P (prediction, precision, personalization, prevention, population, and policy)-3G (good food, good environment, and good behavior)-4I (interpretation, integration, implementation, and innovation) will allow us to focus resource towards the development of multi-level approaches for the betterment of population

Objective: To investigate the relationship between blood pressure variability and ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) in both normal subjects and hypertensive patients.
Methods: A total of 280 consecutive subjects without antihypertensive medication were studied. All subjects received ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and AASI was calculated as 1 minus the regression slope of diastolic blood pressure value vs systolic blood pressure value according to ABPM recording.
Results: ① There were 161 subjects with male gender, 138 patients with hypertension, and the average age was (50.4 ± 13.3) years.②Pearson analysis indicated that AASI was related to age (r=0.272, P<0.001), 24-hour mean pulse pressure (r=0.504, P<0.001) , nocturnal diastolic blood pressure dipping (r=-0.334, P<0.001) and standard deviation of 24-hour diastolic blood pressure (r=-0.520, P<0.001).③AASI in anti-dipper hypertensive patients was higher than that in dipper patients, P<0.05;while AASI between dipper and non-dipper patients, dipper and extreme-dipper patients were similar, P>0.05 respectively.④Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that with adjusted age, gender, BMI and blood pressure, AASI was independently related to 24-hour mean pulse pressure (β=0.003, P<0.001), nocturnal diastolic blood pressure dipping (β=-0.001, P<0.05), standard deviations of 24-hour systolic blood pressure (β=0.032, P<0.001) and 24-hour diastolic blood pressure (β=-0.064, P<0.001), standard deviation of 24-hour heart rate (β=0.006, P<0.001).
Conclusion:AASI is closely related to blood pressure variability, it’s a comprehensive index for arterial stiffness and blood pressure variability.

BACKGROUNDS:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of deaths nationwide. However, little is understood about its temporal trend and corresponding influence on longevity improvements. We aimed to describe the updated tendency in CVD mortality and to quantify its impact on life expectancy (LE) increase in China.
METHODS:
All-cause mortality rates were calculated with population sizes from the National Bureau of Statistics and death counts from the National Health Commission. We estimated CVD mortality rates by allocating age- and sex-based mortality envelopes to each CVD subtype based on its proportion derived from the Disease Surveillance Points system. The probability of CVD premature deaths and LE were calculated with life tables and we adopted Arriaga's method to quantitate age- and cause-specific contributions to LE gains.
RESULTS:
During 2013 to 2018, the age-standardized mortality rate of CVD decreased from 289.69 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 289.03, 290.35)/100,000 to 272.37 (95%CI: 271.81, 272.94)/100,000, along with a decline in probability of CVD premature deaths from 9.05% (95%CI: 9.02%, 9.09%) to 8.13% (95%CI: 8.10%, 8.16%). The gap in CVD mortality across sexes expanded with more remarkable declines in females, especially for those aged 15 to 64 years. Among major subtypes, the probability of premature deaths from hemorrhage stroke declined fastest, while improvements of ischemic stroke and ischemic heart disease were limited, and there was an increase in stroke sequelae. LE in China reached 77.04 (95%CI: 76.96, 77.12) years in 2018 with an increase of 1.38 years from 2013. Of the total LE gains, 21.15% (0.29 years) were attributed to reductions of CVD mortality in the overall population, mostly driven by those aged >65 years.
CONCLUSIONS
The general process in reducing CVD mortality has contributed to longevity improvements in China. More attention should be paid to prevention and control of atherosclerotic CVD and stroke sequelae, especially for the elderly. Working-age males also deserve additional attention due to inadequate improvements.
