This Senate resolution designates September 2026 as "National Cholesterol Education Month" and September 30, 2026, as "LDL-C Awareness Day" to raise public awareness about cholesterol's role in cardiovascular disease. The resolution highlights that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, with costs projected to nearly triple to $1.8 trillion by 2050, and notes that more than 25% of American adults have high LDL cholesterol, a major modifiable risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. It points out significant gaps in care, including that fewer than 1 in 4 high-risk patients reach recommended cholesterol targets and only 27% of heart attack patients receive proper follow-up testing, with African-American adults particularly underserved despite higher disease rates. The resolution is symbolic rather than regulatory or funding-based; it encourages individuals to know their LDL-C numbers and calls attention to the need for better screening and treatment, but it does not create new programs, mandates, or appropriations. It affects the general public and healthcare community by promoting awareness rather than imposing legal requirements.
