Common causes of high triglycerides include a diet high in refined carbohydrates and sugar, excessive alcohol intake, physical inactivity, obesity, and medical conditions such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or kidney disease. Genetic predisposition and certain medications (e.g., beta‑blockers, corticosteroids) can also contribute. To lower triglycerides, lifestyle modifications are key: reducing sugar and alcohol, increasing physical activity, weight loss, and adopting a Mediterranean diet. In some cases, medications like fibrates or omega‑3 fatty acids may be prescribed. The evidence for these interventions is well‑established (human‑moderate to strong), but individual causes should be evaluated by a physician. The provided context lacks specific triglyceride data, so this answer is based on general medical knowledge.
