NCDs remain the leading cause of disease burden in China and vary significantly by disease type, sex, age, and region. Strengthening prevention, improving the management of high-risk populations, and enhancing data accuracy

The adoption of multiple healthy behaviors significantly reduces the risk of NCDs and mortality in Metablic syndrome patients, highlighting the need for more comprehensive lifestyle interventions targeted at this group with metabolic impairments.
