My mother had high cholesterol….total over 300. She refused to take statins. She died at 94…NOT of a heart attack or stroke.

That's reassuring :-). My PCP has a patient in her mid-90s with extremely high cholesterol that didn't respond to any drugs they tried but she did her own grocery shopping, carried her own groceries home, did all of her own cooking and housekeeping. And had an active social life. Her descendants were doing nowhere near as well as she was and she wasn't at all concerned about her cholesterol. The last I heard, she was 97 and still going strong, lol.
