Cholesterol lowering in the elderly population. Coordinating Committee of the National Cholesterol Education Program.

S M Grundy1, J I Cleeman, B M Rifkind, L H Kuller.   

Abstract

The incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) peaks in the elderly population. In secondary and primary prevention trials, cholesterol-lowering therapy reduces risk for CHD in both older and younger participants. This benefit, therefore, can be extended to the elderly.
