TL;DR: Although hemorrhagic stroke was more frequent in Chinese than in Western populations, the variation in the proportion of stroke subtypes among Chinese populations could be as large as or larger than that between Chinese and Western populations.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 2 genome-wide association studies of coronary artery disease comprising 1,515 cases and 5,019 controls followed by replication studies in 15,460 cases and 11,472 controls provides new insights into pathways contributing to the susceptibility for coronary arteries disease in the Chinese Han population.

TL;DR: Prevalence of hypertension was increasing in China, while the rates of control, although improving, continued to be low, implying that effective public measures needed to be developed to enhance the awareness and rates of treatment.

TL;DR: Efforts are needed to improve nutrition in China, especially in the north, as well as in other populations including those in the United States, for prevention and control of adverse blood pressure levels and major adult cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: In a Chinese population characterized by lower levels of BMI and great variability in rates of overweight, variation of BMI was significantly related to the prevalence of other metabolic risk factors and their clustering, and overweight was one of the independent risk factors for stroke and CHD in Chinese populations.
