LDL cholesterol levels will be measuredthrough a blood test.•Variables: Independent variable-weight status (overweight vs. normal weight).Dependent variable-LDL cholesterol levels.•Duration: One-time test, no follow-up needed.Expected Outcome:The overweight group is expected to have significantly higher LDL cholesterol levels than thenormal-weight group.
