[Lifestyle profile of people with cardiovascular disease].
The objective of this study was to identify the lifestyle profile of people with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a specialized out-patient unit in the municipality of São Paulo, Brazil, and to compare lifestyle profiles with the social-demographic characteristics of these people. The instrument Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP I) was applied in 22 people with CVD that were followed up in that out-patient unit. It was verified that people with CVD presented worse profile in the exercise domain (average 2.18) and better profile in the self-fulfillment domain (average 3.26). Obtained results provided information to follow up patients during Nursing Consultation.
