Low-Density-Lipoprotein Cholesterol Control and Treatment Status 1 Year after the Initial Health Checkup in Individuals with Referral-Level LDL Cholesterol
Despite being classified as requiring early medical intervention, only half of individuals with LDL-C ≥ 180 mg/dL visited a physician within 3 months, and nearly half continued to have uncontrolled LDL-C at 1 year. Strategies to facilitate timely medical visits and appropriate lipid management in health checkup-identified cases are warranted.
