[From the Point of View of Health Evaluation and Promotion (Ningen Dock) Facilities].

Since the direct method of LDL measurement is easy and convenient, many health evaluation and promotion facilities adopted it without sufficient discussion after specific health checkups started in Japan. For the purpose of reliable, specific health checkup data, we must review the methods and standardization of LDL measurement. I hope that medical societies, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and reagent manufacturers will collaborate.
