He said, during a video clip circulating on social media, that cholesterol always begins to precipitate at the age of 20, and its effects do not appear until after a long time.
And he added, always in the forties or fifties the problem of cholesterol deposits in the coronary artery appears.
He pointed out that men appear to have this problem at the age of 45 or 50, while women delay until the age of 55 because the menstrual cycle protects them.
He continued, in addition to the problems of obesity and diabetes in the Gulf countries and the Kingdom, for example, the percentage of sugar in the Kingdom ranges from 29 to 30% for every 100 people.
