There are two main types of cholesterol:

• LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) – Often called “bad” cholesterol. High levels can lead to artery blockages.
• HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) – Known as “good” cholesterol. It helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream.

Other related markers include triglycerides, which, when elevated, can further increase cardiovascular risk.

Causes and Risk Factors

Cholesterol disorders can result from a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors. Common causes include:

• Unhealthy diet (high in saturated fats and trans fats)
• Lack of physical activity
• Obesity
• Smoking and alcohol consumption
• Diabetes and thyroid disorders
• Family history of high cholesterol
• Advancing age

Symptoms of High Cholesterol

High cholesterol usually has no obvious symptoms until it leads to serious health events such as a heart attack or stroke. That's why routine screening is essential—especially for adults over 30 or those with risk factors.
