It's important to check your cholesterol levels. High cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) recommends that adults aged 20 years or older have their cholesterol checked every 5 years.
If the fasting lipid profile is normal, a child should be screened again in three to five years. If the cholesterol level is high and the child cannot lower it by lifestyle changes in 6 to 12 months, then it is recommended to start medications such as statins to lower the cholesterol level. Normal cholesterol levels are different for children. Total cholesterol should be less than 170 and the LDL cholesterol should be less than 110. The rationale for these guidelines is that atherosclerosis which leads to heart disease starts very early in life.
