How to use cholesterol in a sentence?

1. David Fischman:

2. Bruce Elliott:

   If you have an employee population with a high BMI or high level of bad cholesterol, rather than doing exercise programs, you may want to talk to your employees about nutrition, diet and how to shop for vegetables and fruit, as basic as that is.

3. Christine Jellis:

   I don’t think [the online test] can be used as a replacement, you need to know your blood pressure, you need to know your cholesterol, you need to know if you are diabetic to be able to plug that into the score, so we need people to be still vigilant about having those things monitored.

4. Andrea Chomistek:

   Though we didn't have that many cases of heart disease for the study, over half the women developed one of the cardiovascular risk factors - either hypertension diabetes or high cholesterol - so that wasn't rare at all, even among this younger group of women.

5. Iftikhar Kullo:

   We gave them this information, people were able to understand it, the physician was able to act on it and a decision was made more often to start therapy, and that resulted in lowering LDL cholesterol.
