There is no proof that it actually benefits anyone, and the idea that people under 35 should be screened for high cholesterol is controversial. However, some doctors now believe that the circumstantial evidence is strong enough to warrant early intervention.

In the latest study, researchers found that people with natural mutations associated with lower cholesterol throughout life had a consistently lower risk of heart disease. And this reduction in risk is three times greater than what can be achieved with cholesterol-lowering drugs when people are in their 60s. The study suggests that giving statin early would be beneficial, but suggests that lowering cholesterol itself early I would.
