Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Fasting serum Total Cholestrol and serum Triglicerides will be collected. High Density Lipid Cholestrol and Low Density Lipid Cholestrol will also be requested, as markers of the anti- and pro-atherogenic lipid particles. The reason for this is that some people with mildly increased Total Cholestrol may actually be at lower risk because their High Density Lipid Cholestrol is high and their Low Density Lipid Cholestrol is relatively low.[At 6 months post-initial NL-RISC consultation visit.]
