Abstract in brief

  • Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder characterized by high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, increasing the risk of heart disease.
  • The prevalence of FH varies globally, but it is estimated to affect about 1 in 200 to 1 in 250 people, making it one of the most common genetic lipid disorders.
  • Many cases of FH are underdiagnosed and undertreated, which makes awareness and early detection important for preventing cardiovascular complications.]

@Lukewearechange https://t.co/ZQh3U9pUIJ friend just got his masters in nutrition specifically because someone he loved almost died due to bad LDL cholesterol levels. One of the best research minded people I know, he made this video to share how to lower LDL cholesterol
