Hypercholesterolemia may increase the risk of developing coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis, ischemia, and other serious illnesses and even death.

Primary data collected using cross-sectional method in Puskesmas Bojong Gede Bogor to 85 respondents aged 25-64 years. The results found that the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia is 62.4%. There was a significant relationship between blood glucose and waist circumference with hypercholesterolemia. Blood glucose level is the dominant factor for hypercholesterolemia.
