Good Cholesterol Levels May Cause Infectious Diseases

Web Desk(April 12, 2018): A new study said that good cholesterol levels may lead to infectious diseases such as gastroenteritis or pneumonia. 

According to researchers individuals with very low high-density lipoproteins cholesterol had a 75 per cent higher risk of infectious disease, whereas the risk was 43 per cent higher in those with very high HDL cholesterol.

Professor at the University of Copenhagen in Demark Borge Nordestgaard said that we found individuals with both low and high HDL cholesterol had high risk of hospitalisation with an infectious disease.

Nordestgaard further said that importantly, these groups of individuals also had high risk of dying from infectious disease.
