Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary study objective is to assess the proportion of people (=> 35 years) in Germany with self-reported diagnosis of chronic ischemic heart disease and a general practitioner visit since the onset of this disease who have ever been asked by a general practitioner about their physical activity level, and received advice and/or specific recommendations to increase physical activity since the onset of this disease. | — |
