血胆固醇升高是心脏病三大可改变的危险因素之一。美国近60%的成年人血液胆固醇水平升高，但大多数成年人并不知道自己的水平。美国国家心脏、肺和血液研究所（NHLBI）和其他组织现在建议所有成年人进行测试，以评估他们的血液胆固醇水平。最近设计了新的便携式血液胆固醇分析仪，并正在广泛推广用于胆固醇筛查。然而，关于这些设备的可靠性和大规模胆固醇筛查计划的有用性，还有许多悬而未决的问题。模型系统的血液胆固醇筛查计划，NHLBI资助的努力，旨在提供这些设备和大规模的胆固醇筛查系统的评价，包括三个研究项目，进行了说明。这项研究将有助于建立一个数据库，并据此提出关于公众胆固醇筛查的建议。
Elevated blood cholesterol is one of the three major modifiable risk factors for heart disease. Almost 60% of adults in the United States have an elevated blood cholesterol level, yet most adults are unaware of their level. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and other organizations have now recommended that all adults be tested to assess their blood cholesterol level. New portable blood cholesterol analyzers have recently been designed and are being promoted widely for cholesterol screening. However, there are many unanswered questions about the reliability of these devices and about the usefulness of mass cholesterol screening programs. The Model Systems for Blood Cholesterol Screening Program, an NHLBI-funded effort consisting of three research projects designed to provide a systematic evaluation of these devices and of mass cholesterol screening, is described. This research will contribute to a data base from which recommendations regarding public cholesterol screening will be made.
