Does cholesterol need a check in your 30s?
It is the middle age, when plaque starts to deposit in the arteries.
Cholesterol levels must be controlled from the 30s.
High cholesterol levels are a silent killer.
It remains asymptomatic for years.
It shows up in the form of a heart attack or stroke, years later.
Proactive Cardiac Care – Early Statin Therapy
Cholesterol levels (LDL) are directly linked to cardiac health.
The cardiovascular risk is determined based on –
- cholesterol levels
- metabolic dysfunction
- family history
- genetics
- smoking
- Weight, etc.
10-year or elevated 30-year risk factors are evaluated.
The risk factors are classified as low, medium, or high.
The updated guidelines for LDL levels to be targeted-
- Below 100mg/dl –for people at borderline risk
- Below 70mg/dl – for intermediate risk
- Below 55mg /dl – for low-risk people
