If it develops it is: Presumably related to changes in dietary choices, as opposed to something that has always been there which would suggest a familial dyslipidemia.

Many Considerations: See your physician. The first step is to determine why your lipid values are abnormal. Several inherited and acquired medical conditions will affect lipid levels. Second, if related conditions are identified it is appropriate to treat those while also starting diet, exercise and lifestyle modifications. Third, your cardiovascular risk level will determine appropriate lipid and lipoprotein targets.
