Test Your Cholesterol Smarts
Learn more about this important – and sometimes confusing – health indicator
Did you know that about 105 million Americans have elevated blood cholesterol levels that put them at risk for cardiovascular
disease and that, of those, about 42 million adults are at high risk?
When it comes to heart health, cholesterol is serious business, but it can also be confusing. Our online cholesterol quiz will help test your cholesterol smarts while providing you with some important information, including what cholesterol is,
the different types of cholesterol, the factors that influence your cholesterol levels, steps you can take to reduce your
cholesterol, and more.
After you’ve completed the brief quiz, incorporate that knowledge into a healthy lifestyle. Examine the risk factors that
apply to you – and take steps to eliminate or reduce those risks. Of course, it’s also important to contact a physician about
a cholesterol screening to develop your personal profile.
