You do not have to be overweight or eat badly to have high cholesterol. Some people are genetically predisposed — and it can develop in your 20s and 30s.
Familial hypercholesterolaemia is a genetic condition that causes high LDL cholesterol from birth. If a parent or sibling has had heart disease at a young age, get your cholesterol checked regardless of your age or diet.
High cholesterol is treatable — but only if you know you have it.
