Short answer
Monitor your cholesterol levels with tests (LDL, HDL, triglycerides), adjust your diet and physical activity. If there is a persistent increase, consult a doctor to assess the risks and possible drug therapy.
Hypercholesterolemia is a condition in which the level of cholesterol in the blood is higher than normal, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
The mechanism in three steps, and where you can intervene.
Trigger
Excess saturated fat in the diet, low physical activity, genetic predisposition (eg, familial hypercholesterolemia).
Mechanism
Impaired lipid metabolism leads to the accumulation of LDL (“bad” cholesterol) in the walls of blood vessels, forming atherosclerotic plaques.
Symptom
It is asymptomatic for a long time, but in later stages it can manifest as angina, heart attack or stroke.

Monitor your cholesterol levels with tests (LDL, HDL, triglycerides), adjust your diet and physical activity. If there is a persistent increase, consult a doctor to assess the risks and possible drug therapy.
A baseline panel for the most common causes.
The main marker of “bad” cholesterol, which is deposited in blood vessels.
"Good" cholesterol, which helps remove excess LDL from the blood.
Shows the level of fats in the blood associated with the risk of atherosclerosis.
Total indicator of LDL, HDL and other lipid fractions.
A marker of inflammation that may indicate the risk of cardiovascular complications.
How each marker relates to high cholesterol.
The main causes include poor diet (excess trans fats, fast food), sedentary lifestyle, smoking, obesity and genetic factors. Some diseases (hypothyroidism, diabetes) also contribute to hypercholesterolemia. In Axioris, you can track the dynamics of indicators (LDL, HDL) and adjust your lifestyle based on the data.
Lipidogram (LDL, HDL, triglycerides) is the main test for diagnosis. Additionally, glucose (Glu) and TSH (TSH) tests may be needed to rule out diabetes and hypothyroidism. It's easy to upload PDF reports from laboratories to Axioris: the system will automatically recognize the values and plot changes.
Consultation is necessary if LDL is higher than 4.9 mmol/l or there are additional risk factors (smoking, hypertension). Your doctor may prescribe statins or other drugs. Use reminders in Axioris to repeat tests and monitor the effectiveness of therapy.
1) Ignoring the asymptomatic course. 2) Refusal of tests if you feel “normal”. 3) Strict diets without monitoring indicators. 4) Stop taking statins without a doctor's recommendation. AI interpretation in Axioris helps you understand results in the context of your symptoms and health history.

Yes, hypercholesterolemia is possible even with normal weight. The reasons are genetics, physical inactivity or hidden metabolic disorders. It is important to regularly check your lipid profile, regardless of BMI.
It is optimal to combine a Mediterranean diet (olive oil, fish), aerobic exercise (150 min/week) and smoking cessation. Axioris has a BMI and body fat calculator to track your progress.
Current research shows that moderate consumption of eggs (1-2 per day) has little effect on LDL in most people. Trans fats from processed foods are much more dangerous.
After 40 years - every 4-6 years (if there are no risk factors). For hypercholesterolemia - every 6–12 months. Set up reminders in Axioris so you don't miss deadlines.
HDL levels below 1.0 mmol/L (for men) and 1.2 mmol/L (for women) increase the risk of atherosclerosis, even if LDL is normal. It is recommended to increase it through physical activity and omega-3.
