Early Cholesterol Management Crucial to Prevent Heart Disease, Study Finds

New research highlights the importance of controlling cholesterol levels from a young age to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.

Scientists found that fluctuating cholesterol levels in early life significantly increase the risk of atherosclerosis.
The study suggests that intermittent high-fat diets are particularly harmful in terms of developing arterial plaque.
Researchers used both mouse models and long-term human data to support their findings.
High cholesterol exposure in childhood is linked to greater plaque buildup in arteries by middle age.
Health experts emphasize the need for early cholesterol monitoring and lifestyle changes to prevent heart disease.
