Abstract		Raised levels of blood cholesterol, together with other risk factors, are clear danger to public health. The relationship of fallowing risk factors in the survey is studied: smoking, elevated blood pressure, higher level of body mass index and a significance of inadequate physical activity. A task of my survey is also to find a connection of risk factors with blood cholesterol level and construct appropriate mathematical model for future scientific approach to this problem. There were 230 randomly choosen participants in the study. All of them were older than 18 and had no history of elevated cholesterol blood levels. Two most danger risk factors in elevated Cholesterol presence were smoking and elevated diastolic blood pressure. According to the mathematical model, male is more exposed to damaging effects of the risk factors. A correlation of higher cholesterol levels with advanced age is also positive.
