National Cholesterol Awareness MonthNational Cholesterol Awareness Month kicked off September 1, creating a timely opportunity to broach the topic with patients who don't already have their cholesterol tested. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 21.5 percent of Americans have never had their cholesterol checked, even though one in every six adults-17 percent of the U.S. adult population-has high blood cholesterol. Starting a "cholesterol conversation" now may help patients measure their risk for heart disease and make a plan for preventing it in the near future.
