The Kenya STEPwise Survey for Non-Communicable Diseases Risk Factors 2015 Report revealed that about 98% of Kenyans had never had their cholesterol levels measured. Out of those that had been measured, only 13.3% who reported to have been diagnosed with elevated cholesterol levels were on medication. 10% of the respondents had either cholesterol ≥ 5.0 mmol/L or currently on medication for raised cholesterol (MoH-Kenya et al., 2015).
