Ottawa Now - Canadian Pediatric Society calls for children to receive cholesterol checks at earlier ages

March 2, 2026

The Canadian Pediatric Society is calling for today’s children to receive cholesterol checks at an earlier age. To be more specific, the latest recommendation suggests screening for all children between the ages of 2 and 10, with the hopes of addressing potential heart risks in their early stages. Dr. Michael Khoury, a pediatric cardiologist, specializes in preventative cardiology at Stollery Children’s Hospital. He is also the leading voice behind this statement, and joins us on today’s Ottawa Now.
