SRES 566 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution designating September 2024 as "National Cholesterol Education Month" and September 30, 2024, as "LDL-C Awareness Day".

This resolution designates September 2024 as "National Cholesterol Education Month" and September 30, 2024, as "LDL-C Awareness Day" to raise public awareness about cardiovascular health. It encourages all U.S. individuals to know their low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) number, which is a key risk factor for heart disease and stroke. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but formally recognizes these dates for educational purposes. It highlights existing awareness gaps, such as low rates of LDL-C testing and treatment adherence among high-risk patients. This is a procedural designation with no direct legal or financial impact on affected individuals or programs.
