Abstract

Objectives: The lifestyle, dietary habits, and cardiovascular (CV) risk perception of patients with CV risk factors and/or diseases in Turkish population may vary with education. We aimed to reveal the relationship between education level and lifestyles in patients who participated in the Medications and Lifestyles of Patients with Cardiovascular Risk Factors and/ or Diseases in Turkish Population (MedLife-TR) study.
