The National Lipid Association (NLA) Recommendations Part 2 are published and available on the Journal of Clinical Lipidology website.

Part Two of the NLA Recommendations reinforce the importance of lifestyle changes as the cornerstone of therapy in cholesterol management, and provide new detailed advice for specific changes in diet, dietary patterns and the amount of physical activity and exercise required for cardiovascular health.

In addition, the recommendations highlight the importance of managing atherogenic cholesterol levels in special populations, including diverse ethnic and racial groups such as African Americans, Hispanics and South Asians, throughout the life span from children to seniors, including women from pregnancy to menopause, and other conditions associated with increased cardiovascular risk, including HIV disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
