title: Hypercholesterolemia in children: risk and management.
abstract: Hypercholesterolemia in children is currently a controversial issue. Screening and management recommendations are inconsistent due to the lack of longitudinal data currently available to support specific long-term interventions. Children who are generally at risk and the options for management are discussed.
