Though high total and LDL cholesterol levels, along with low HDL cholesterol, can increase heart disease risk, they are among several other risk factors. These include cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and physical inactivity. If any of these is present in addition to high blood cholesterol, the risk of heart disease is even greater. The good news is that all these can be brought under control either by changes in lifestyle--such as diet, losing weight, a regular exercise program, and quitting a tobacco habit. Medicines also may be necessary in some people. Sometimes one change can help bring several risk factors under control. For example, weight loss can reduce blood cholesterol levels, help control diabetes, and lower high blood pressure.

Heart disease is one of the biggest killers worldwide. It is affecting more people at younger ages than ever before.
