A usual source of care (USOC) has been associated with improved preventive and chronic care, but its relationship with lipid management has not been well described. The objective of this study is: 1) to examine the association of USOC with statin use among persons meeting eligibility guidelines for treatment 2) to examine the association of USOC with low density lipoprotein goal attainment among those receiving statins. We examined statin use among adults ages 21-79 years who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data, 1999-2006. We used criteria from the third Adult Treatment Panel (ATP III) on treatment of high cholesterol to assess eligibility and the examined factors that predicted current use of statins. Among those currently taking statins, we assessed achievement of target LDL-C based on ATP III goals. Among the 12,979 participants, nearly 14% were eligible. Having a USOC was significantly associated with use of statins among those eligible, but not with goal attainment among those taking statins. Significant predictors of goal attainment were higher income and education and more recent cohort. In a national sample, USOC was significantly associated with use of statins among eligible adults, but not with LDL-C goal attainment for those using statins.
