加拿大敦促为2至10个孩子进行胆固醇筛查,以便及早捕捉遗传的高胆固醇并预防心脏病。 Canada urges cholesterol screening for kids 2–10 to catch inherited high cholesterol early and prevent heart disease.

加拿大儿科协会建议对2至10岁的儿童普遍进行胆固醇筛查,以检测家庭高胆固醇血症,这是一种遗传疾病,影响大约300人中的1人,引起心脏病和中风风险。 The Canadian Paediatric Society recommends universal cholesterol screening for children aged 2 to 10 to detect familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic condition affecting about one in 300 people that raises heart disease and stroke risk. 通过血液检测,甚至在例行检查期间进行早期检测,可导致从8岁起改变生活方式或统计结果的及时治疗,有助于在晚年预防心血管疾病。 Early detection through blood tests, even during routine visits, can lead to timely treatment with lifestyle changes or statins starting at age eight, helping prevent cardiovascular disease later in life. 不进行筛查,多达95%的病例可能未经诊断。 Without screening, up to 95% of cases may go undiagnosed. 该指南旨在扩大探测范围,超越美国目前的建议,减少可预防的心脏病。 The guidance aims to expand detection beyond current U.S. recommendations and reduce preventable heart disease.
