What should clinician look for?

Although total blood lipids measured after age 65 have not been consistently found to correlate with development of coronary disease or occurrence of strokes, when cholesterol fractions other than TC are evaluated, positive relations have been found: for example, TC:HDL-C ratio efficiently predicts CHD in elderly as well as middle-aged. 1 According to NCEP guidelines, patients should not be excluded from consideration from lipid-regulating therapy on basis of age alone, although quality-of-life issues acquire special importance in managing older patients. Because both dietary and drug therapy have additional clinical implications for older patients, treatment of elderly should be individualized.

Are older patients getting adequate treatment?

Although use of pharmacologic cholesterol lowering in middle-aged patients is generally accepted and is increasingly utilized, patients aged 65 to 75 who have a history of CHD and might benefit from cholesterol-lowering drugs are generally undertreated or not treated at all, according to a recent CHS report by Lemaitre et al. 3 The CHS was designed to investigate risk factors for CHD in men and women aged 65 and older (see below). It also provided an opportunity to examine impact of NCEP guidelines on physicians' prescribing patterns for elderly patients.
