This report examines the role of high blood cholesterol levels in the development of CHD in adults. The panel recommends a strategy that combines two complementary approaches to reduce blood cholesterol levels in children: a population approach (change in general diet by reducing the intake of fats), and an individualized approach (through selective screening and treatment).
This publication contains the report of the panel on its findings and recommendations regarding blood cholesterol reduction. Recommendations include: intake of less than 10 percent of total calories from saturated fatty acids; intake of an average of 30 percent, or less, of total calories from all fat; dietary energy levels needed to reach or maintain a desirable body weight; and less than 300 mg. of cholesterol per day. The panel makes recommendations for various groups to become involved with general population strategies.
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
Identifies low density lipoproteins as the primary target of cholesterol-lowering therapy and emphasizes the role of clinical approach in primary prevention of coronary heart disease. Reports that dietary therapy remains the first line of treatment of high blood cholesterol and that drug therapy is reserved for patients considered to be at high risk for coronary heart disease. Features of this report that distinguish it from the first report are: increased emphasis on CHD risk status as a guide to type and intensity of cholesterol-lowering therapy; more attention to high density lipoprotein as a CHD risk factor; and increased emphasis on physical activity and weight loss as components of the dietary therapy of high blood cholesterol.
