In some cases not all increased levels of cholesterol are due to genetic factors. There are certain enzymes in the cholesterol metabolism pathway which may be deficient leading to increased levels of cholesterol inspite of good diet and exercise.
If you are 66 and highly active then kudos . Try to maintain this lifestyle and the drugs prescribed to you would keep the level of cholesterol below dangerous levels.
Thank you for your query.
