A member asked:

What could be a cause for high ldl cholesterol? i have a healthy diet and workout 3 times a week. i had a 130 reading my last lab test.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Genes: Despite all the hoopla, your LDL levels are largely genetic. I'm glad you're staying fit. Your 130 is at the upper limit of the "good" range. If you were a sedentary diabetic hypertensive smoker, I might consider doing something about it -- but it sounds like you'd do better simply to be thankful for good health.
