Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), or chronic diseases, are a major public health burden globally and in Taiwan, and control of the "three highs" (hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia) is a national priority. Nearly half of the 10 leading causes of death in Taiwan are directly or indirectly related to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), for which hypertension, dyslipidemia, and abnormal blood glucose are the major risk factors. National health insurance data indicate that over 70% of middle-aged and older adults have at least one of these chronic conditions. Early stages are often asymptomatic, and inadequate control may lead to complications of cardiovascular disease, stroke, renal vascular disease, and retinopathy, causing irreversible organ damage and death. For blood pressure, large clinical trials such as SPRINT and STEP have shown that targeting systolic blood pressure below 130 mmHg significantly reduces ASCVD events. For LDL cholesterol, "the lower, the better" applies, with guideline-recommended LDL-C targets determined by baseline ASCVD risk, with levels below 55 mg/dL for very high-risk patients. For diabetes, treatment goals generally include fasting plasma glucose below 130 mg/dL and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) below 7%. Although antihypertensive therapy has been proven effective in preventing cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease attributable to hypertension, fewer than one-third of patients receiving antihypertensive medication…
