Back to Cholesterol Awareness.
*Asked of respondents who report having had their cholesterol checked.
The results are not comparable to those from surveys conducted prior to 2020. Before 2020, this question was only asked of respondents who had a cholesterol test and were told their cholesterol levels were high. However, in the 2021 and 2023 versions, the question was asked of respondents who had a cholesterol test regardless of their cholesterol levels. As a result, the question was posed to many more respondents in 2021 and 2023, leading to a considerably smaller percentage reporting the use of cholesterol medication.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to changes in the weighting methodology and other factors, results from 2023
are NOT comparable to 2010 and earlier years.
Regional demographic estimates have been suppressed because they do not meet statistical reliability standards.
