The level of triglycerides in our blood usually increases with age, but risk factors that increase the likelihood of the triglyceride level becoming too high include the following:
Lifestyle:

    Overweight or obesity
    Excess alcohol intake
    Lack of physical activity
    Inherited disorders
    Pregnancy
    Type 2 diabetes
    Metabolic syndrome

Medications:

    Thiazide diuretics
    Beta-blockers
    Protease inhibitors for HIV
    Some cholesterol-lowering drugs
    Estrogen therapy
    Isotretinoin for acne
    Immunosuppressants
    Corticosteroids
    Some antipsychotics

The most common reasons for hypertriglyceridemia developing are obesity, lack of physical activity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and familial hyperlipidemia, a genetic condition that causes high triglycerides and low levels of the “good” cholesterol, HDL (high-density lipoprotein).
