Prevalence of and factors associated with lipid screening in young people aged 16– to 21 years in the United States: analysis of nationwide cross-sectional data
Nearly one-third of young people aged 16- to 21 years in the United States have received lipid screening. Ethnicity, health insurance, weight problems, and physical activity level were associated with the likelihood of lipid screening uptake. These findings could help people understand the current situation of lipid screening in young people in the United States and may serve as fundamental parameters in the assessment of the utilization and cost-effectiveness of related health care services.
