Wellness Wednesday
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about 38% of American adults have high cholesterol. Too much cholesterol puts you at risk for heart disease and stroke, two leading causes of death in the United States. High cholesterol has no signs or symptoms, so the only way to know if you have it is to get your cholesterol checked. Talk to your health care team about how you can manage your cholesterol levels and lower your risk.
Knowing Your Risk for High Cholesterol
Certain health conditions, your lifestyle, and your family history can raise your risk for high cholesterol. These are called “risk factors.”
You can’t control some of these risk factors, such as your age or your family history. But you can take steps to lower your risk for high cholesterol by changing things you can control.
Health Conditions that Increase Your Risk
Behavior That Increase Your Risk
Your lifestyle choices can increase your risk for high cholesterol.
