    Investigating the Relationship Between Overweight Status and LDL Cholesterol Levels Does being overweight directly contribute to elevated LDL cholesterol levels in adults? Hypothesis: Overweight individuals will have higher LDL cholesterol levels compared to individuals with normal weight. Experiment: • Participants: 20 adults (10 overweight and 10 individuals with normal weight). • Method: Measure LDL cholesterol levels in both groups. • Control: The normal - weight group will serve as the control, as they are not expected to have the same cholesterol levels as overweight individuals. • Procedure: All participants should refrain from eating or drinking for 12 hours before testing to control for recent dietary effects. LDL cholesterol levels will be measured through 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 the normal - weight group.
