Overview
According to the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), screening for dyslipidemia, which includes high LDL-cholesterol (LDL-c), is indicated among men 35 years and older (Grade: A Recommendation), men 20 to 35 years old in case of an elevated risk for coronary heart disease (Grade: B Recommendation), women 45 years and older in case of an elevated risk for coronary heart disease (Grade: A Recommendation), and women 20 to 45 years old in case of an elevated risk for coronary heart disease (Grade: B Recommendation).[1] There is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against screening for dyslipidemia among infants, children, adolescents, or young adults less than 20 years of age (Grade: I statement).[1]
Screening
Screening Indications
Screening in Adults
Screening for dyslipidemia, including high LDL, depends on the gender, age, and the risk for coronary heart disease. Screening for dyslipidemia is indicated among the following:[1]
- Men 35 years and older (Grade: A Recommendation)
- Men 20 to 35 years old in case of an elevated risk for coronary heart disease (Grade: B Recommendation)
- Women 45 years and older in case of an elevated risk for coronary heart disease (Grade: A Recommendation)
- Women 20 to 45 years old in case of an elevated risk for coronary heart disease (Grade: B Recommendation)
Screening in Children
There is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against screening for dyslipidemia among infants, children, adolescents, or young adults less than 20 years of age (Grade: I statement).[1]
Screening Components
Screening for dyslipidemia includes:[2]
- Identification of risk factors for coronary artery disease
- Estimation of the 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease
- Measurement of fasting lipid panel (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides)
