Age and Gender

It is an undeniable fact of aging that the older you get the higher you cholesterol levels will get. It is however also a question of reality and maintenance. Especially when menopause hits for women. We tend to see a higher occurrence of cholesterol issues when this sets in. Women easily surpass men at this point and have to do a great deal to manage and lower their cholesterol and risk of disease.

Ensure that your age does not threaten your heart health. Stay active and eat right and monitor your cholesterol levels regularly.
