Opinion: More young people should be getting their cholesterol tested and taking statins
National guidelines around screening and treating cholesterol in young adults need to be updated.
For busy primary care physicians like me, an annual physical with a 27-year-old male is a blessing. Since we’re always running late, a quick visit with a young healthy adult offers the rare chance to get back on schedule.
But I didn’t give my own doctor that chance to get back on schedule when I went to see him for my physical a few months ago.
