[The inadequate status of information of interested lay persons about the educational campaign regarding risk factors for cardiovascular diseases].
181 interested individuals (75 males, 106 females; range 16 to 84 years) responded to a questionnaire issued by the Styrian Cardiovascular Lay Society. The main topic of the questionnaire concerned information gained via media, about the possible risk factors related to cardiovascular diseases and about any changes in life style consequent to this information. The results show that the general knowledge in this field especially in younger subjects is disappointing and that there is need for further intensive information and education.
