After enrolment, clinical examination,anthropometric measurement and a questionnaire will be administered to each participant at baseline and patients will be followed up every six months. Our tests and examinations include: blood/urine sample and biochemical measurements, office blood pressure recording, carotid ultrasonograph, echocardiograph, pulse wave velocity, pulse wave analysis, 4-limb blood pressure recording, body mass index, etc. Baseline measurement will also include the assessments on target organ damages(TODs) and the conventional CV risk factors.
