Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Atherosclerosis, which develops from fatty plaque buildup, is a common type of arteriosclerosis. Plaque often starts to build up during childhood and gets worse with age. Risk factors include unhealthy cholesterol levels, unhealthy lifestyle habits, and your gene.
Detailed explanation-2: -Blood lipids (fats) that contain cholesterol include low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL (’bad’) cholesterol can lead to plaque forming in the arteries while HDL (’good’) cholesterol helps to remove cholesterol from the body and makes it harder for plaque to form in the arteries.
