The recommendations, published in December 2011 and endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, call for universal screening of 9- to 11-year-old children with a nonfasting lipid panel, plus targeted screening with 2 fasting lipid profiles of children ages 2 to 8 years and 12 to 16 years (involving between 30% and 40% of all children). Previous recommendations called for screening only children considered high risk using a nonfasting total cholesterol test.
