Many people believe that if their cholesterol level is normal, their heart is safe. However, statistics show the opposite: heart attacks and strokes often occur in people whose test results do not raise any concerns.

But the pace and manifestations of aging vary greatly from person to person: some remain active and mentally sharp well into old age, while others experience significant decline as early as middle age.
