Three highs

"Three highs" refers to hypertension, hyperglycemia (diabetes), and hyperlipidemia. They are "rich and noble diseases" derived from modern society and may exist alone or be related to each other. Such as: people with diabetes are likely to suffer from hypertension or hyperlipidemia at the same time, and hyperlipidemia is a major factor in the formation and development of arteriosclerosis, and poor blood vessel elasticity in patients with arteriosclerosis increases blood pressure. Therefore, the emergence of any of these three diseases is likely to form the "three highs" in the later stages.
