About this trial

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a brief Heart Age-based risk education intervention embedded in routine primary care for older adults with hypertension in China. The intervention uses routine health check data to generate a personalized one-page Heart Age report, delivered by physicians during regular follow-up visits. The trial tests whether this approach improves risk awareness and self-management behavior without disrupting clinical workflow.
