LDL cholesterol is commonly known as bad cholesterol and is linked to increased risk of which condition?
Correct Answer:
Coronary Heart Disease
Explanation:
LDL cholesterol, often called bad cholesterol, is a key factor in the development of atherosclerosis—the buildup of cholesterol-rich plaques inside artery walls. When these plaques form in the arteries that feed the heart, they narrow or block blood flow, raising the risk of coronary heart disease and heart attack. The other conditions listed—osteoporosis, asthma, and arthritis—are not driven by LDL levels in the same way, as they involve bones, airways, and joints, respectively. Keeping LDL in a healthier range helps protect heart arteries and lowers the risk of coronary heart disease.
