Abstract
Given the high co-occurrence of age and hypercholesterolemia, there is a critical need for age-appropriate evidence for achieving normal cholesterol levels. The purpose of the current review was to map recent evidence (i.e., past 5 years) on hypercholesterolemia management in older adults and identify gaps in the evidence. Electronic searches in PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus were conducted. Inclusion criteria were age 65 or older and lipid panel outcome. Exclusion criteria were a mixed age sample and familial hypercholesterolemia. An initial pool of 3,176 unique records resulted in 26 articles that met inclusion criteria. Arksey and O'Malley's scoping study framework was used. Sample sizes ranged from 12 to 1,010 (N = 8,509) adults ages 65 to 96. Evidence supports the use of exercise, diet, and statins in older adults. Laboratory, intervention, and methodological gaps were identified. Much remains to be examined in safely managing older adults with hypercholesterolemia, including determining time to behavior change in nonpharmacological interventions and contextual factors influencing adherence.
