This principle aims to integrate the concept of health in the development of all strategic policies in China. Efforts must be made to promote a healthy lifestyle in people of all ages [

http://cvindex.hsmap.com), providing official data on the prevalence, treatment, and public health policies and services for CVDs, as well as the scientific statistics of exposure and control of cardiovascular risk factors. These include blood pressure, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking, overweight and obesity, sedentary lifestyle, unreasonable diet, and air pollution. For instance, fine particulate matter (≤ 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter; PM2.5) pollution is a serious environmental issue in China [
5]. Long-term exposure to PM2.5 over certain concentrations has been proven to be associated with ischemic cardiac disease and hypertension [
6,
7]. Although the PM2.5 concentration had declined by 6.5% in 2017 compared to 2016, a stricter control of air pollution is being implemented to achieve better surveillance and assessment of air quality, including emergent strategies such as reducing pollution originating from motor vehicles, coal burning, industrial production, and outdoor activities which create dust [
