Know your cholesterol count
Saturday Evening Post, Nov-Dec, 2007
Recent findings from a nationwide survey reveal that most women recognize the health risks associated with high cholesterol, but few are taking action to monitor and control it. One telling example: The women surveyed were less likely to know their current cholesterol level than their weight in high school.
In addition, only half of the respondents had undergone a cholesterol test in the past year. Of that group, only 57 percent could actually recall their cholesterol number.
