Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Knowledge of cardiovascular disease risk factors	10 minutes	This will be evaluated using The Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Knowledge Level scale. The maximum score that can be obtained from the 28-question scale is 28.Higher scores on the scale indicate better knowledge of cardiovascular disease.
Healthy lifestyle behaviors	15 minutes	It will be evaluated with the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors scale II.The lowest score on the whole scale is 52 and the highest is 208. As the score obtained from the survey increases, it is assumed that the participant's level of healthy lifestyle behaviour is high.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Physical activity	5 minutes	Physical activity level will be evaluated using International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short form
Cardiovascular risk	5 minutes	The Framingham Risk Score will be calculated to determine cardiovascular risk. Framingham risk score; if the estimated risk of cardiovascular events is above 10%, the risk is considered high; if it is below 10%, the risk is considered low.
Comorbidity	5 minutes	Comorbidity level will be evaluated with the Charlson Comorbidity Index
