Question 1 of 5
Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) are the so-called 'bad' lipoproteins. Which statement best reflects why high levels of LDL are considered unhealthy?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: There is an increased risk of heart disease. High levels of LDL cholesterol can lead to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, causing atherosclerosis which increases the risk of heart disease. LDL cholesterol is often referred to as the 'bad' cholesterol because it can contribute to the narrowing of blood vessels, leading to heart attacks and strokes.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because high levels of LDL do not directly cause hyperthyroidism, digestive problems, or rhabdomyolysis.
