[Status of information of interested lay persons: results of a questionnaire survey by the Styrian Heart Association].
181 interested individuals (75 males, 106 females; range 16 to 84 years) responded to a questionnaire issued within the information and instruction courses of the Styrian Cardiovascular Non-professional Society. The main topic of the questionnaire concerned information gained via media, possible risk factors leading to cardiovascular diseases and any changes in living conditions due to such facts. The results show clearly that the general knowledge in this field especially in younger subjects is disappointing and further intensive information and instruction would be urgently required.
