Can children have cholesterol?


At the age of 10/11?
My sister is pretty thin but she eats meats and stuff that are pretty fatty.
she's 4 foot 9 & 1/2.
and she weighs 93.

but is it possible to have it at that age?

She'd be a sick child if she didn't have it.

Everyone has good and bad cholesterol in thier system. At any age. Its the levels of bad cholesterol that make them dangerous over years and years of having high bad cholesterol. Yes its possbile for her to have high bad cholesterol and a simple blood test can check for it.

If she overdoses on fat at that age, it`s a bad habit to get into, because that is when the build-up will start.
The build-up of fatty deposits can take nearly a lifetime, til the arteries get almost blocked to a dangerous degree.
