A Pediatrician Attends the National Institutes of Health Consensus Conference on Lowering Blood Cholesterol

ALVIN M. MAUER MD1

1 University of Tennessee, Memphis

As a representative of the Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Pediatrics, I had the opportunity of attending the National Institutes of Health Consensus Conference on Lowering Blood Cholesterol (Dec 10-12, 1984). There were 1frac12 days of presentation of the available data concerning this topic following which a consensus panel consisting of lipidologists, cardiologists, primary care physicians, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, experts in preventive medicine, and lay representatives considered the evidence and attempted to reach a consensus on recommendations ultimately to be incorporated into health policy.

On some issues, there seemed to be general agreement. There was little controversy about the association of serum cholesterol levels and, particularly, low-density lipoprotein levels with risk of coronary artery disease.
