A member asked:
One in 3 people with normal range chloresterol levels will still die of a heart attack, stroke or pulmonary embolism, right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. Why do you ask?: These are the three common non-pneumonia, non-cancer killers. There are plenty of other risk factors -- hypertension, diabetes, lack of exercise, smoking, genetics, others. Manage all your risk factors and you're likely to stay healthy longer.
