Abstract
We assessed community trends in the awareness, treatment, and control of hypercholesterolemia (defined as a serum cholesterol level ≥6.21 mmol per liter [240 mg per deciliter]) during the 1980s in the Minneapolis—St. Paul (Twin Cities) metropolitan area. Twin Cities residents 25 to 74 years old participated in independent, cross-sectional, population-based surveys of risk factors for cardiovascular disease in 1980–1982 (n = 3365) and 1985–1987 (n = 4545).Keywords
