Question: I would imagine the earlier you catch a cholesterol problem, you can fix it earlier. So what age should I get tested?

It sort of depends on whether you have a history of cholesterol in your family or not, but probably somewhere around 25. Also if you notice little white spots near your eyes those are probably cholesterol deposits which is definitely a sign you should get your cholesterol checked. I hope that helps a little.
You would be best off consulting with your local physician.

Well maybe start getting tested around 18-21 years old then continune getting checked maybe once a year from then on to be sure.
Hope I Helped!!
it all depends on your eating habits...if u kno that yours aren't thebest you should get tested. i kno someone who was told that she had bad cholesterol when she was a young teenager, but thats because she didnt eat very healthy. it also depends on if it runs in your family. i dont think theres a certain age, it all depends on the individual
Any age, especially if your overweight. All you need to do is have a simple blood test at your local doctor.
You should consult your GP about it. x
Testing should generally start at the age of 20, and should be repeated every 5 years
