			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The average cholesterol level for US adults has dropped below 200, into the range experts say is ideal, according to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The findings are from data collected by the National Health and Nutrition Annual Survey (NHANES).</p>
<p>The decreases occurred mainly in older adults, leading experts to conclude that the decline can be attributed to effective drug treatment, as reported by the <a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hRZRMVh5aHbZg0o2As-A8Aqe0t4gD8TG5SLG1">Associated Press</a>.</p>
<p>Detailed findings from the survey are available in the NCHS data brief <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db02.pdf">High Serum Total Cholesterol â€“ An Indicator for Monitoring Cholesterol Lowering Efforts: U.S. Adults, 2005â€“2006</a> (PDF).</p>
