A resolution designating September 2023 as "National Cholesterol Education Month" and September 30, 2023, as LDL-C Awareness Day.

This Senate resolution designates September 2023 as "National Cholesterol Education Month" and September 30, 2023, as "LDL-C Awareness Day." It encourages all U.S. residents to know their LDL-C (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) number, which is a key modifiable risk factor for heart disease and stroke. The resolution highlights that many Americans with high LDL-C do not reach recommended treatment levels, despite guidelines supporting its management. As a symbolic designation, it does not create new laws or funding but aims to raise public awareness about cardiovascular health.
