Brief Summary   Purpose of the study: This research study aims to find the level of knowledge on cardiovascular disease and its risk factors among non-medical college going students. Who can take part in this study: All the college-going non-medical students who fulfils the inclusion criteria will be requested to take part in the study. What will happen during the study? First, I will explain my study in the language of your understanding. Once you have consented to be a participant in my study, I will evaluate you based on my inclusion and exclusion criteria. Once I have evaluated you based on my eligibility criteria to make you a participant in my study, we will start with the study. Firstly, body composition will be assessed using the BIA (body mass index, total body fat, visceral fat, subcutaneous body fat, and skeletal muscle mass). Hip and waist circumferences will be measured using measuring tape (waist hip ratio). Then blood pressure will be measured using a manual sphygmomanometer, level of physical activity will be assessed using the IPAQ questionnaire, and knowledge of cardiovascular disease will be assessed using the HDFQ questionnaire. Finally, the data will be analysed and disseminated. The time duration to complete the test will be approximately 10-13 minutes. The complete intervention will be administered once to every individual who is deemed qualified to take part in this study. What are the risks and discomfort? There are no risks involved in this study. Benefits to the participant: There is no direct benefit to the participants, but they will be screened for high, moderate, and low levels of developing cardiovascular disease. Individuals at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease will be given advice regarding their modifiable risk factors. The level of physical fitness will be analysed, and the current level of blood pressure and knowledge regarding cardiovascular disease will also be identified. Compensation for injury: There shall be no incentives or remuneration for the data collected from you. Moreover, all the physiotherapy tests related to the study will be free of charge. Confidentiality of information: On completion of this study, all your personal details will be made anonymous to ensure the confidentiality of your participation. After enrolment in this research study, you are requested to follow only the procedure protocol instructed or demonstrated. Non-compliant study subjects during the procedure may have to be dropped from this study by the investigator. Right to withdraw from study: It is expected that there will be cooperation and voluntary participation by the patient or patient party in this study. If you want to withdraw from the study, you have the right to do so. No questions will be asked. The standard treatment of care shall not be denied to you in case you have decided to withdraw from the study.
