USPSTF Recommendation on Screening for Lipid Disorders in Children and Adolescents

To the Editor The preamble to the USPSTF Recommendation Statement on screening for lipid disorders in children and adolescents states that the USPSTF is committed to mitigating the health inequities that prevent people from fully benefiting from preventive services. However, the conclusion of that Recommendation Statement that there is insufficient evidence to recommend screening for lipid disorders in children and adolescents may contribute to inequities in the prevention of heart disease later in life.
