a diet high in saturated fat and cholesterol
a lack of exercise - this can increase your LDL levels and decrease your HDL levels
family history - you're more likely to have high cholesterol if you have a close male relative aged under 55 or a female relative aged under 65 affected by heart disease
being overweight
age and gender - your cholesterol levels generally rise with increasing age, and men are more likely to be affected than women
drinking more than the recommended daily amount of alcohol
