One of the new trends in the development of recommendation algorithms is the dissemination of their capabilities to support the population in managing their health. This article focuses on the problem of improving the effectiveness of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) prevention, since CVD is the leading cause of death worldwide. To address this issue, a knowledge-based recommendation algorithm was proposed to support self-management of CVD risk factors in adults at home. The proposed algorithm is based on the original multidimensional recommendation model and on a new user profile model, which includes predictive assessments of CVD health in addition to its current ones as outlined in official guidelines. The main feature of the proposed algorithm is the combination of rule-based logic with the capabilities of a large language model in generating human-like text for explanatory component of multidimensional recommendation. The verification and evaluation of the proposed algorithm showed the usefulness of the proposed recommendation algorithm for supporting adults in self-management of their CVD risk factors at home. As follows from the comparison with similar knowledge-based recommendation algorithms, the proposed algorithm evaluates a larger number of CVD risk factors and has a greater information and semantic capacity of the generated recommendations.
