Abstract

The results of the large cholesterol screening survey (n=52075) were analyzed. 2,5-97.5% approximate
reference limits, 75 percentiles and medians of total cholesterol in male and female different age groups from
20 to 70 years were evaluated. The medians of total cholesterol in all male age groups over 30-35 years and in
all female age groups over 35-40 years exceeded the upper desirable limit of cholesterol <5.0 mmol/L. The use
of total cholesterol measurement in the screening studies as an indicator of cardiovascular risk is discussed
