Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
CVD 10-year risk	12 months	This study intervention is designed to address CVD risk by introducing an integrated care package. Therefore, a validated risk score is required to properly evaluate the effect of interventions. The WHO/ISH score is a tool to estimate the risk of CVD development based on age, sex, BP, total cholesterol, smoking and diabetes. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether or not the intervention can substantially lower the risk at 1 year. The primary outcome is the mean difference in WHO/ISH risk score change from baseline to 12 months between the intervention and control townships. The WHO/ISH risk score will be calculated using the lab-based measurements, but if there are missing, a nonlaboratory measurements will be used.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
CVD incidence rate	12 months	the difference of CVD incidence rate between the intervention and control FHTs at 12 months
systolic blood pressure	12 months	change in SBP between the intervention and control FHTs at 12 months
total cholesterol	12 months	change in total cholesterol between the intervention and control FHTs at 12 months.
