Methods   520 subjects with high-risk hypertension were selected and received comprehensive preventive intervention such as health education and guidance of life style. Results   After 2 years′ intervention the high-risk population had a wealth of knowledge of hypertension. The concentrations of triglyceride, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein significantly decreased while the concentrations of high-density lipoprotein significantly increased(P<0.05). The proportions of persons who consumed high salt, as well as the rates of smokers and drinkers decreased from 57.9%, 32.1% and 29.2% to 49.8%, 25.4% and 23.1% respectively.
