Time trend of cardiometabolic risk factors over a 10-year period in the office-working population in China.

Objectives: Recent dramatic increases in cardiovascular disease mortality in China can be mostly explained by adverse changes in hypertension, dyslipidaemia, diabetes and obesity, known as cardiometabolic risk factors. Our study aimed to assess the trend of these four signatures by a 10-year lag in Nanjing, China.

Methods: 8017 subjects attended the routine health examination in 2008, and 9379 subjects in 2017, from multiple work units of Nanjing, were included in the present study.
