The Cardiovascular Risk Reduction Program (CARDIOREP) aims to raise risk awareness and reduce risk factors.
While 1/3 of premature deaths in individuals under the age of 70 in the world occur due to Cardiovascular Diseases (WHO 2022), circulatory system diseases are at the forefront with 36.76% according to the health statistics of the Ministry of Health in our country.

Cardiovascular disease risk assessment Training and Consultancy Based on the literature, the researcher prepared a Training Guide for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases, including the subjects of Cardiovascular Diseases and Risk Factors, Physical Activity, Smoking and Heart Health, BMI and Heart Health, Nutrition, and Stress. By using the training guide, training time for individual training intervention will be planned for one day of the week with the participants. Individual training will last 30 minutes at the stops with waiting areas during the working hours of the participants. Mobile Application To the participants in the intervention group 2, 4. In the 6th and 6th weeks, text messages will be shared once a week to increase motivation and prevent cardiovascular diseases. Monitoring Daily data from the previous week (cardio score, number of steps) will be taken from the Google Fit application.

Cardiovascular Disease Risk Awareness Rating Scale Scores
The scale form consists of 3 sub-dimensions and 21 items. The sub-dimensions consist of perceived heart attack and stroke risk, healthy eating intentions, perceived benefits and intentions to change. A maximum score of 64 and a minimum score of 0 can be obtained from the scale. A higher score on the scale and its sub-dimensions indicates an increased awareness of cardiovascular diseases.
Time frame: at the end of 0th, 6th, and 12th weeks
Cardiovascular risk perception
Perceived cardiovascular disease risk in the next 10 years is questioned as low, moderate, high and very high.
Time frame: at the end of 0th, 6th, and 12th weeks
International Physical Activity Questionnaire Scores
The international physical activity questionnaire (Short Form) consists of 7 questions. The questionnaire asks about the number of days of vigorous, moderate, mild physical activity in the last 7 days and how much of the day, and how much time is spent sitting in individuals who do not engage in physical activity. It provides the calculation of the energy expended by the activities in meters. A high score on the scale form indicates being active in physical activity.
Time frame: at the end of 0th, 6th, and 12th weeks

Week 6 "Adequate consumption of vegetables and fruits reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Saturated and trans fats increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. It is recommended to consume \<5 g less per day to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
Daily data from the previous week (cardio score, number of steps) will be taken from the Google Fit application.
