This report uses data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health (ALSWH) to assess women’s adherence to national guidelines. The study began in 1996 and involves three large, nationally representative, cohorts of Australian women representing three generations:

• the 1973-1978 cohort, aged 18 to 23 years when first recruited in 1996 (N=14 247) and now aged 34 to 39 years in 2012
• the 1946-1951 cohort, aged 45 to 50 years in 1996 (N=13 716), now aged 61 to 66 years in 2012
• the 1921-1926 cohort, aged 70 to 75 years in 1996 (N=12 432), now aged 86 to 91 years in 2012.

Findings of women's adherence to current Australian health screening guidelines for blood cholesterol are reported for each of the age cohorts over the study period.
