    Yes, i just got blood work done and my LDL is high...the Dr. did my cardiac risk ratio and said I was alright now. I am 57 and post menopause. Mine started creeping up at peri menopause so I do think it has to do with your hormones. He also said age is a factor...he also said change in diet may bring it down maybe 20 points.
