A member asked:
Does hypercholesterolemia appear earlier in women than men? is estrogen related in anyway? does menopause also have to do with this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can occur: in either sex, but is more common in men and increases in women after menopause. Much higher in obese women. Estrogen is mildly protective prior to menopause due thought due to higher HDL levels in women.
