The mean duration of cardiovascular disease diagnosis of the women was 12.9±8.4. Hypertension (79.7%) was the most common in women, followed by coronary artery disease (63.8%), hyperlipidemia (30.4%), chronic heart failure (15.2%) and arrhythmia (7.2%). It was determined that 45.7% of the women had a diagnosis of diabetes accompanying cardiovascular disease. Average age at marriage of women is 20.2±3.9, mean age at menarche is 13.5±1.5 amd menopause mean age was 47.9±4.6. The mean score of the HLBS II scale is 135.6±2.

There was a strong linear relationship between the sub-dimensions of spiritual development and stress management and interpersonal relationships, and a moderate linear relationship between health responsibility, physical activity and nutrition (r=0.745, r=0.723, r=0.588, r=0.542, r, respectively). =0.531). Conclusion: Women's cardiovascular disease risk factors knowledge level is good. There is a significant difference in terms of their educational status and HLBS II scores and physical activity sub-dimension scores. Health professionals have an important role in increasing the knowledge of CVD risk factors in menopausal women. It is recommended that public health nurses and midwives have to raise awareness by informing women about CVD risk factors and healthy lifestyle behaviors, identify the difficulties that women experience in adapting to health promotion behaviors and discuss possible solutions.
