There are a number of very serious diseases where patients have exorbitantly high cholesterol from a very young age, with actual stigmata of hyperlipidemia on physical exam. One of my med school professors was actually a pioneer in the discovery and treatment of such patients many years ago where as a young man, he found clusters of families in his native Armenia where familial hyperlipidemias were endemic.

Also if you smoke that could also have an impact. In some cases stress levels can have an impact on cholesteral, if you are generally stressed this could be the reason.
