In the USA, 37% (102 million) have elevated total cholesterol (>200 mg/dL, 5.2 mmol/L)1
In EUROASPIRE II, 58% of patients with established CHD had elevated cholesterol (5 mmol/L, 190 mg/dL)2
10% reduction in total cholesterol results in:
15% reduction in CHD mortality (p<0.001)

WHO: The Metabolic SyndromeWHO: The Metabolic SyndromeWHO: The Metabolic SyndromeWHO: The Metabolic Syndrome
A working definition is glucose intolerance, IGT or diabetes mellitus and/or insulin resistance together with two or more of the following:
• Impaired glucose regulation or diabetes
• Insulin resistance
• Raised arterial pressure 160/90 mmHg
• Raised plasma triglycerides (1.7 mmol/L, 150 mg/dL) and/or low HDL-C (men <0.9 mmol/L, 35 mg/dl; women <1.0 mmol/L, 39 mg/dL)
• Central obesity
• Microalbuminuria (UAER 20 g/min or albumin: creatinine ratio 20 mg/g)
