By what percentage does a patient have to lower their cholesterol to see a 20% reduction in CVD risk?

In England, around 58% of men and 61% of women have blood cholesterol levels of 5.0 mmol/l and above [6]. Despite this, what percentage of men and women in the UK aged 45+ do not know their cholesterol level?

How many official dietary recommendations for cholesterol management include plant sterols?

The optimum level of plant sterols that patients should consume for cholesterol-lowering is 1.5 to 2.4 grams per day as part of a healthy diet and lifestyle with sufficient fruit and vegetables.
