Why would *high cholesterol* be a surviving genetic predisposition after so many thousands of years?


...because it doesn't impact the person before reproduction occurs?

grandfather on my mothers side was one of nine kids. Farmboys. 5 of them died by age 50 of heart disease/attack.

I just got on Repatha. Genetically high cholesterol (I walk/ruck/run 25 miles a week and hit the gym 2 or 3 times) and over time I had become intolerant to statins. Crazy muscle soreness that I chalked up to just getting older - so bad that it was causing back problems. Repatha lowered my cholesterol to my lowest LDL in 5 years after only 3 doses. No side effects and no more muscle soreness.

Good read you posted.

JAHA study from 1970-2022 on heart disease
Heart Disease Mortality in the United States, 1970 to 2022.

It's a long read but I know how many on this thread can understand the science.

What I found very interesting is that life expectancy rose from @70 to @77 yrs over this time frame, and also that death from heart disease changed from one area of concern to another, while living longer on average with an increasing population. I make no conclusions from reading this study.

I did pay attention to the funding of the study.
