A member asked:

How can a 14 year old girl lower her cholesterol?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Address the casue: If a 14 year old has high cholesterol, she needs to be assessed for genetic basis for high cholesterol and be treated accordingly. To provide a more meaningful opinion would require physical examination, history, and additional lab tests. If she is overweight, it would help to lose weight.
