to go up around age 20. Women before menopause have levels that
are lower than men of the same age. After menopause, a women's
LDL-cholesterol level goes up--and so her risk for heart disease
increases. For both men and women, heart disease is the number

High blood cholesterol itself does not cause symptoms, so many people are
unaware that their cholesterol level is too high. It is important to find out

Cholesterol lowering is important for everyone--younger, middle age, and older
adults; women and men; and people with or without heart disease. (Source: excerpt from NHLBI, High Blood Cholesterol What You Need to Know: NHLBI)
