Perceived risk and representations of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and preventive behaviour of people diagnosed with Familial Hypercholesterolemia by DNA testing (N = 81) were assessed. In general, participants perceived their own CVD risk as being relatively low. While participants reported almost optimal medication adherence (99%), only 49 per cent reported following recommendations concerning diet and physical activity. Family history of CVD was associated with both risk perception and the adoption of a healthy lifestyle. In their communications with FH-screened positives, health professionals should be aware that people may underestimate CVD risk, and should stress how behaviour change can reduce the risk.
通过 DNA 检测诊断为家族性高胆固醇血症的人群（N=81），评估了他们对心血管疾病（CVD）的感知风险和表现，以及预防行为。总的来说，参与者认为自己患 CVD 的风险相对较低。虽然参与者报告了几乎最佳的药物依从性（99%），但只有 49%的人报告遵循了关于饮食和体育活动的建议。CVD 的家族史与风险认知和健康生活方式的采用有关。在与 FH 筛查阳性者的沟通中，卫生专业人员应该意识到人们可能低估 CVD 风险，并强调行为改变如何降低风险。
