The "Japan Atherosclerosis Society (JAS) Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Diseases" proposed the recommended lipoprotein levels in each patient according to some categories classified by the risk factor numbers. Because the categorization is somewhat complex for some patients, we redeveloped the JAS guidelines-based survey into a simple form to easily assess each lipoprotein target level. Forty participants in the hypercholesterolemia education classes were divided into the ordinary approach group (n = 20; mean age 59 years) and the intervention group using the survey (age 58 years). When participants assessed the class by 100-point scales, the intervention group had significantly more understanding levels than the ordinary approach group (86.7 vs. 75.1 points). Our results suggested that the simplified JAS guidelines-based survey system was effectively applicable to transmitting information about lipoprotein target levels among hypercholesterolemic subjects as an educational tool.
