What are my chances of having high cholesterol?
My dad’s family, including my dad, all had it — and they all are/were slim, ate well, and were in good shape. My mom’s family, on the other hand, didn’t have high cholesterol, yet they did not practice healthy lifestyles.
I am a 38-year-old female with a total cholesterol of 157. My dad says, "You have youth on your side right now." Is he right?
At your age, a high cholesterol level would have most likely been seen by now. 157 is an excellent number, so you’re either eating and exercising well or are taking after your mother’s side of the family, or both.
