Cholesterol levels should be measured at least once every five years by everyone over the age of 20. The screening test that is usually performed is a blood test called a lipoprotein profile. Experts recommend that men aged 35 and older and women age 45 and older be routinely screened for lipid disorders. The lipoprotein profile includes:LDL (low density lipoprotein cholesterol, also called ""bad"" cholesterol)HDL (high density lipoprotein cholesterol, also called ""good"" cholesterol)
