Hypertension = Systolic Blood Pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or Diastolic Blood Pressure ≥ 90 mmHg or Self-reported treatment.

Diabetes = Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) ≥ 7.0 mmol/L or Random Blood Glucose (RBG) > 11.1 mmol/L or Self-reported treatment.

Dyslipidemia = Total cholesterol > 5 mmol/L or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) > 3 mmol/L or high-density lipoprotein (HDL) < 1.2 mmol/L or Triglycerides > 1.7 mmol/L or Self-reported treatment.

Angina = Self-reported or Rose Criteria

Myocardial infarction = Self-reported

Stroke = Self-reported

Heart failure = Self-reported
