The tendency for a high cholesterol levels can be both genetic and through your lifestyle.
Most people's cholesterol are high due to their diets and lack of exercise. Eating the wrong foods, not looking for hidden fats and being sedentary contribute more then genetics.
However, if someone religiously watches their diet and gets plenty of exercise then it could be caused by genetics.
If you suspect that it may be generic, don't just look at your parents levels, find out if your grand parents, aunts, uncles, brothers or sisters have cholesterol issues.
Even if your levels look fine right now but you have a parent who has cholesterol problems, start watching your diet and get up from the tv and exercise.

Yes--there's even a TV commercial about that.
If high cholesterol runs in your family, it's even more important for you to get a lot of exercise, and eat fat-free foods. It's best if you don't smoke (though I'm not sure why that has to do with it).
I have high cholesterol--but my parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc. were never tested for it--so I have no way of knowing if I inherited it--or just got it all from not living a healthy enough lifestyle in the past.
