∙ 11y agoExcess weight and inactivity is strongly correlated with high blood cholesterol levels, especially small LDL-P. Most of the cholesterol in the body is synthesized by the liver from saturated fats. So genetics plays a role as does the amount of saturated fat in the diet. Surprisingly, the amount of cholesterol you eat has less of an effect on the cholesterol levels.
