LAI has been advocating for regular lipid profile screenings from the age of 20, and from the age of two for those with a family history of high cholesterol or premature coronary heart disease in men under 55 years and women under 65 years.

In cases of adopted children or families with elevated lipoprotein (a), lipid profile screenings should commence at the age of two, or as early as possible if not feasible, according to Dr Puri.

The new guidelines also recommend including lipoprotein (a) assessment in lipid profile tests for initial screening, as it is highly prevalent among 25 percent of Indians.
