English term

indicates a great deal of an effect

English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Please red the question carefully because in some questions, a "1" indicates no effect on your quality of life and in other questions a "1" indicates a great deal of an effect on your quality of life.
Is it possible to find another wording for the phrase "indicates a great deal of an effect"? I'm looking for another formal wording to say it, suitable for low educated people

means a lot of change

Reflects my previous suggestion for the other part of your question.
Remember the "to" preposition here again!
Example sentence:

"... means a lot of change to your quality of life."

Thank you, Asghar.
agree Can Altinbay : For the same reason as for "familiarze", I think "considerable" would be too difficult for some.

means a considerable effect (on your...)

"great deal of" might have been written for the less-educated, but the "an" before effect is wrong.

At any rate, this is a possible alternative; I think even the more cerebrally-challenged would get their heads round this, but it seems rather strange to me to write about "life-style", and in the next pen-stroke, write that it is intended for the less well-educated...
