One year after inclusion, all participants that were not loss to follow up, or had their consent withdrawn, were invited back to pharmacies to perform the same measurements for the third time. However, at this third visit, pharmacies were randomized 1:2 to test an additional intervention. Further, an extra blood sample, dried blood spot, was taken to measure cholesterol, HbA1c and fatty acids. About half of the pharmacies (n=23) communicated cardiovasular disease (CVD) risk factor levels as Heart age compared to own age (British communication tool) together with tailored lifestyle advices on how to reduce elevated levels. While the other 25 pharmacies communicated CVD risk the usual way and gave general lifestyle advices on how to reduce CVD risk. 4 weeks later, all participants took dried blood spot samples at home. We will compare results from dried blood spot samples to study whether heart age and tailored lifestyle advice is more effective than general information in reducing CVD risk. The investigators will also record social security number to make connection to central health registry as prescription registry, patient registry and cause of death registry after 2 years and 5 years.
