👉Sex Differences in Familial Hypercholesterolemia 🔓Open Access link.springer.com/article/10.100… ☝️"Several studies show that FH impacts women through life differently than men in terms of women having higher untreated and treated LDL-C levels, less intensive treatment, off-treatment periods due to family planning, and a possibly excessive ASCVD impact compared to men. Earlier initiation and lifelong treatment, especially in young women with FH, are important to lower the lifelong cholesterol burden. Future research on the impact of female-specific life stages such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, menstrual cycle, and menopause is needed. Future guidelines should include sex-specific aspects"

Lots of interest and activity and many who queued up to measure cholesterol and learn about FH today at the national hospital in Oslo. #FH awareness. @fhpatienteurope; @NKTforFH; @FHNorge; @NutritionUiO
