Symptoms and Causes of High Cholesterol in Skinny People

Overweight or obesity is a scourge for us. In addition to less attractive appearance factors, obesity is a risk factor for many diseases.

Obesity is always associated with the amount of fat. But did you know that high fat levels not only attack fat people? People who are thin or even ideal posture can actually develop this one disease.

People call it high cholesterol, but what happens is an imbalance between good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. This disease is called dyslipidemia.

What is dyslipidemia? Before we talk about dyslipidemia, we have to recognize the types of fats in our bodies, namely LDL (low-density lipoprotein or bad cholesterol), HDL (high-density lipoprotein or good cholesterol), triglycerides (excess consumption of carbohydrates converted to fat) and total cholesterol (accumulation of all three types of cholesterol).

Dyslipidemia is a fat metabolism disorder characterized by an increase or decrease in the type of fat in the blood plasma.
