Several factors can influence cholesterol levels, including:
Diet: Consuming high amounts of saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol-rich foods can increase LDL cholesterol levels. Physical Activity: Regular exercise can help raise HDL cholesterol and lower LDL cholesterol. Weight: Being overweight or obese can increase LDL cholesterol and decrease HDL cholesterol. Genetics: Family history can play a role in cholesterol levels. Age and Gender: Cholesterol levels typically increase with age, and women often have higher HDL cholesterol levels than men.
