Some genetic factors would increase the risk of developing high cholesterol. Some people might inherit certain genes from their parents or grandparents. These components control how the body processes fats and cholesterol. This condition is also known as familial hypercholesterolemia. So, if you have a family member with a history of high cholesterol, it is important to have it checked on a regular basis to detect any abnormal changes in your cholesterol levels. [6]
