Abstract

They include primary disorders of lipoprotein metabolism and secondary disorders induced by behavioral or other metabolic causes. Approximately 25% of adults in the United States have total cholesterol (TCHOL) levels of 240 mg/dl or higher and nearly half have a TCHOL exceeding 200 mg/dl.1
