Legs show silent signs of high cholesterol
A recent study indicates that increased thickness of the Achilles tendon is associated with higher levels of bad cholesterol (LDL), especially among individuals with hypercholesterolemia. It has been found that people with high cholesterol levels exhibit fatty deposits in their tendons, with a significant increase in tendon thickness, particularly in those with hypercholesterolemia. This suggests that measuring Achilles tendon thickness could serve as a valuable method for assessing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The British Health Screening Authority recommends cholesterol testing for individuals over forty and those at risk for early diagnosis.
