Preventive Cholesterol Testing for Children Under GESY
May 27, 2025
As of last week, children and young adults aged 8 to 21 will undergo tests for hyperlipidemia as part of the GESY program. This aims to detect high levels of cholesterol and other lipids early, before they lead to more serious issues. Data indicate that the situation in Cyprus necessitates immediate action, as the diet and exercise habits of the youth are worryingly low. The Health Insurance Organization has already prepared and implemented the clinical guidelines for these tests.
