Risks for high cholesterol - CorrectAnswer: Type 2 diabetes lowers high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or "good") cholesterol levels and raises low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol levels. This combination raises your risk of heart disease and stroke. Obesity is linked to higher triglyceride levels, higher LDL cholesterol levels, and lower HDL cholesterol levels. Obesity can also lead to heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), can cause very high LDL cholesterol levels.

Not getting enough physical activity can make you gain weight, which can lead to high cholesterol. Smoking damages your blood vessels, making them more likely to collect fatty deposits. Smoking may also lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or "good") cholesterol levels. metabolic syndrome - CorrectAnswer: A syndrome marked by the presence of usually three or more of a group of factors (as high blood pressure, abdominal obesity, high triglyceride levels, low HDL levels, and high fasting levels of blood sugar) that are linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes.
