The Senate formally designated September 2025 as National Cholesterol Education Month and September 30, 2025, as LDL-C Awareness Day, reflecting concern that cardiovascular disease — the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States — is significantly driven by elevated LDL cholesterol, yet 71 percent of high-risk patients never reach recommended treatment levels. The resolution — agreed to by the Senate — encourages all Americans to know their LDL-C number and recognizes the urgent need for improved screening and treatment. It is a symbolic designation and does not change law or appropriate funds.
