Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1 What is the prevalence of major vascular risk factors (hypertension, Diab. mell., smoking, obesity, lipid disorders, stress at work)? 2 Sucess of blood pressure controll (office-RR <140/90 mmHg or self-measurement <135/85 mmHg)? 3 How is the awareness of the individual participant´s risk factors? 4 What is the prevalence of dementia or cognitive impairment in individuals with cardiovascular risk factors or comorbidities? 5 What is the extent of physical activity? 6 How is the nutrition in particular regarding meats, fruits / vegetables, salt, alcohol, coffee? 7 What is the treatment adherence (recommendations after hospitalization or Guidelines) to diseases such as stroke or heart attack? 8 How common is atrial fibrillation in different age groups and the proportion of patients with oral anticoagulation (Vit.-K-antagonists or NOAC)? 9 Which recommendations for the prevention of cardiovascular disease or dementia patients consider as feasible? 10 Which obstacles exist in the implementation of recommended lifestyle modifications? 11 How often are hospital admissions in the region in different age groups? 12 How often are depressive disorders and what is the degree of treatment? 13 What are the connections between depressive disorders and other cardiovascular risk factors? 14 What are the connections between eating behavior or diets and depression? 15 How correlate physical activity and prevalence and incidence of depressive disorders?	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Change of the risk factors (parameters of the baseline survey) during the observation after 5 years. 2. Which are the differences between individuals with change of risk factors compared to those without? 3 How does individual behavior change with knowledge of the risk factors? 4 How is the treatment adherence? 5. Identification of lifestyle-recommendations that are regarded as acceptable or successfully by participants. 6. Do prevention-strategies impact vascular events? 7. Vascular event rates as a function of the risk factors.	—
