CHALLENGE POST: Health Poll

[lucindamartinez]

I know that many of us have various health issues...so I thought that I would post this health poll to get us thinking.  Answer to follow this evening....


What percentage of Americans over the age of 30 have total cholesterol above desirable levels?  

[lucindamartinez]

If you voted D) 50%....you are exactly right.  

According to the National Health & Nutrition Examination Survey 50% of Americans over the age of 30 have total cholesterol levels above the desirable range.

I'm a baby-boomer and I know there are bunches of us "over 50's" so I'm saying 50%.

Im guessing, but I voted 50%.  It is a high number and however i'm hoping its lesser number.

first thought was 50% but went with 33%, lol

[Barb135]

I voted for 50% too - the number is pretty high and a lot of people have it without even knowing it.  

[JoyRenee]

I said 50%! I didn't look anything up, it was just a guess. I certainly hope I'm wrong.

I, too, am guessing and chose the 2nd one.  Had to tell you that I wondered about the 3rd one but truly hoped it wasn't so.  Am anxiously awaiting the answer!  

Thank you Miss Lucinda!
