Key result
Controlling blood pressure, smoking, and BMI is linked to reduced NCD mortality and improved life expectancy.
Why the study?
Does risk factor control reduce NCD mortality and improve life expectancy in China by 2030?
Does risk factor control reduce NCD mortality and improve life expectancy in China by 2030?
Controlling blood pressure, smoking, and BMI is projected to significantly reduce NCD mortality and improve life expectancy in China by 2030.
May inform NCD prevention policies in China; leaves open prospective validation of projected benefits.
Risk factors control would play an important role in reducing NCD death, improving life expectancy of residents and reducing loss of labor force. Among them, the control of blood pressure raising, smoking and BMI raising would have a greater contribution to the improvement of population health status.

Zeng et al. (2017) studied this question. Controlling risk factors, particularly elevated blood pressure, smoking, and high BMI, reduces NCD mortality, improves life expectancy, and decreases labor force loss in China.
