Cholesterol management has become a widespread issue in the Philippines. And as years pass by, high cholesterol levels have been detected in Filipinos as young as the age of 20. The 8th National Nutrition Survey reported that almost half of Filipinos who are 20 years old and above have borderline high cholesterol, indicating that one in every two Filipinos may have it without even realizing it. Specifically, 46.9% of this population has this health condition. To bring this progressing healthcare issue to light, global healthcare company Organon in partnership with Philippine Lipid and Atherosclerosis Society (PLAS), conducted the Lipid Workshop: Addressing the Urgency 'Treat to Goal' in Dyslipidemia.
