An elevated Lp(a) is a common genetic factor that is independently and causally related to premature coronary artery disease. But we must always remember that most genetic risk factors are probabilistic rather than deterministic in terms of risk.

Strengthening these results (in my opinion) is the baseline health status of the participants: they reported generally few cognitive complaints, had only a slightly overweight body mass index (BMI), and other than hypertension and the use of cholesterol-lowering medications, had a low prevalence of diseases and other risk factors.

partially because its key risk factor, high blood pressure, is a ‘silent killer,’ and most patients have no symptoms before their first heart attack or stroke.

Being overweight is a major risk factor for heart disease and also an early death. But even if you have excess weight, there are many things you can do to seriously reduce that risk without focusing on weight loss itself. So, if you struggle with excess weight, you need to know what else you can do to reduce your future risk.

Of course, these benefits can also extend to individuals with a BMI in the normal range.
