Scientists have proven that it is important to maintain stable cholesterol levels throughout life.

If cholesterol levels “spike”, this further increases the risk of developing atherosclerosis.

This is according to a new study by scientists published in the journal Nature .

Atherosclerosis is one of the main causes of diseases associated with the heart and blood vessels.

It increases the rigidity of blood vessels, which leads to a narrowing of their lumen due to plaques. They consist of fat, cholesterol, calcium and other components that circulate in the blood.

Controlling cholesterol levels is one of the effective ways to prevent atherosclerosis.

In a new study, scientists have found that cholesterol surges increase the risk of developing this pathology even at a young age.

This means that it is important to follow a healthy diet and monitor your cholesterol levels from a young age.

Even if this indicator is normalized, it is worth continuing to monitor cholesterol levels, the scientists concluded.
