Opportunity for Public Comment - US Preventive Services Task Force

Opportunity for Public Comment - US Preventive Services Task Force
U.S. Preventive Services Task Force banner

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force seeks comments on the draft 
recommendation statement and draft evidence review on 1) Statin 
Use for the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Adults and
2) Screening for Lipid Disorders in Children and Adolescents. The USPSTF 
found evidence that statin use is beneficial for some adults ages 40 to 75 
years who are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, but did not find 
enough evidence to recommend their use for adults older than age 75 
years. The USPSTF also found that there was not enough evidence to 
recommend for or against screening for lipid disorders in children and 
adolescents. The draft recommendation statements and draft evidence
reviews are available for review and public comment from 
December 22 to January 25
at http://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/Page/Name/us-preventive-services-task-force-opportunities-for-public-comment.
