In developed countries with high consumption of cholesterol, such as the United States, heart disease is one of the leading causes of death. Research carried out the American Heart Association (AHA) states that more than 100 million people in these countries have cholesterol levels above the average and 40 million of them have very high cholesterol levels. This condition causes the death rate from heart disease and stroke reaches 500,000 people each year.
Data released by the WHO in 2002 showed that hypercholesterolemia causes 4.4 million deaths in the world. Most of the people who have hypercholesterolemia properties are those who have average cholesterol levels between 200-250 mg a high enough percent.
"High levels of cholesterol in the blood can increase the risk of coronary heart disease. In some developed countries prevalence of coronary heart disease is already starting to show decline in recent years. But it is not the case with developing countries. Unhealthy lifestyles are the main factors causing increased cases of illness Coronary heart caused by high levels of cholesterol in the blood. Therefore, it is important for communities to begin addressing cholesterol wisely early on and change your lifestyle to a more healthy, "said the specialist in diseases of the heart and blood vessels, Dr. Ann Soenarta Arieska SpJP (K).

Stroke is also the third largest cause of death in Indonesia today, and likely to threaten the productive ages under 45 years old.
For people who do not have the properties of hypercholesterolemia, the risk of these disorders can be controlled by continuously controlling their lifestyle, through diet and exercise. In addition, to detect the risk of cholesterol that may be encountered, people should routinely check the cholesterol at least six months.
Detection routine can help the community to act more quickly in anticipation of disorder if the level of cholesterol has been declared a high risk of them.
"For people that have been detected to have high cholesterol disorder risk, they should immediately act quickly to reduce levels of bad cholesterol in the body. Decrease in cholesterol levels can be done by taking drugs regularly, and certainly changes in lifestyle. Levels cholesterol should also be routinely checked in the laboratory and in consultation with the doctor, "said Dr. Arieska.
