Q: I would like to know if there is any correlation between cholesterol & weight and if so, how is cholesterol related to weight?

A:There is no direct correlation of cholesterol with weight. However, people who are overweight are likely to have a higher cholesterol level , purely because they are more likely to be consuming a greater amount of calories and fat.
