- Abstract
The article discusses a study that aims to identify population lipid profiles, awareness of hyperlipidaemia and adherence to guidelines of lipid management in rural Australia. A National Prevention Agency has been proposed by the National Health and Hospitals Reform Commission (NHHRC) to establish an evidence base, with the capacity and infrastructure to report on the progress towards obtaining better health outcomes. According to the results of the study, there is a need for a national lipid guideline implementation program centered on primary care.
