Cholesterol In Older Woman

[Yai]

Can anyone point me in the direction of the video (Dr Sarah?) about older women and cholesterol please? Re use of statins.

Yes, thank you so much. I want to pass it on to a friend who is being pestered to take statins as she has cholesterol of 5.6.

Glad to be of help. Does your friend have a full lipid breakdown? The total number is considered to be pretty meaningless to those in the know.

I think so, and knows about ratio, so think she has enough understanding to argue her case - every bit of info helps though. Thanks again.
