Cholesterol Measurement: Test Accuracy and Factors That Influence Cholesterol Levels

  Premium   Download PDF Now (75 pages)
Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Dec. 30, 1994
Report No. PEMD-95-8
Subject
Summary:

Knowing the amount of cholesterol in the blood is important to good health, but GAO found that it was hard to learn the correct level from a single test. Given the wide range of instruments used to test cholesterol and day-to-day variations in diet, exercise, and illness, GAO believes that persons should consider being tested several times to determine cholesterol levels. Doctors and patients need to be aware of fluctuations in cholesterol measurements and that any decision to classify and treat a patient should be based on the average of multiple measurements and an assessment of other risk factors. GAO summarized this report in testimony before Congress; see: Cholesterol Measurement: Variability in Methods and Test Results, by Kwai-Cheung Chan, Director of Program Evaluation in Physical Systems Areas, before the Subcommittee on Technology, House Committee on Science. GAO/T-PEMD-95-17, Feb. 14, 1995 (15 pages).
