Objective: In this study, the evaluation of adults\' cardiovascular disease risk factors knowledge and healthy lifestyle behaviors was aimed.

Material and Method: It is a crosssectional study. Data were collected by face-to-face interviews with individuals aged 18 to 65 years who applied to the education family health centers between August and September 2022. In the questionnaire, the sociodemographic information form and the Cardiovascular Diseases Risk Factors Knowledge Level Scale (CARRIF-BD) were used.

Results: A total of 366 people participated in the research. The mean age was 41.23±13.61 years, and 60.4% were women. A total of 38.5% of the individuals had a chronic disease. The mean CARRIF-BD scale score of the participants was 19.07±4.92. The CARRIF-BD scale knowledge scores of those who are healthcare workers (p <0.001), individuals over the age of 45 (p =0.002), those with a university or higher education level (p =0.001), those with a history of chronic disease (p =0.001), regular medication users (p =0.001), those who exercise (p =0.004), those who consume whole wheat-branrye bread (p =0.023) and those who consume more than five servings of fruit and vegetables per day (p =0.001) were significantly higher.

Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that participants’ knowledge levels of cardiovascular disease risk factors differed by being a health worker, age, educational status, chronic disease history, exercise status, type of bread consumed, and daily consumption of fruits and vegetable consumption.
