the claim

Gallstones are linked to high blood cholesterol levels.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that gallstones are linked to high blood cholesterol levels?

Partly. One small case-control study in Iraqi Kurdish women and a 75-patient study report higher serum cholesterol/LDL in cholesterol gallstone patients, while a large Shanghai population study found total cholesterol and LDL inversely associated with biliary stones. The evidence is mixed and limited to specific populations and stone types.
