Explanation:

1. Hypercholesterolemia is a condition where there is an elevated level of cholesterol in the blood, which can lead to clogged arteries. HDL is "good" cholesterol (high levels are beneficial), LDL is "bad" cholesterol (low levels are better).
2. High cholesterol hypercholesterolemia does not affect 1 in 3 adults globally. The prevalence is lower.
3. Heart attacks (myocardial infarctions) and strokes (due to issues like blood clots or hemorrhage affecting the brain) are classic examples of cardiovascular diseases.
4. Brisk walking is an aerobic activity. Aerobic exercise is known to increase HDL (good cholesterol) levels. Triglycerides are another type of lipid; exercise generally helps in reducing triglyceride levels (not increasing).
