This guideline contains chapters on the assessment of lipid status and treatment for dyslipidemia in adults and children. Development of the guideline followed an explicit process of evidence review and appraisal. Treatment approaches are addressed in each chapter and guideline recommendations are based on systematic reviews of relevant trials.
