High triglycerides occur in about 10 percent of people. As the main storage form of fat in the body, triglycerides provide energy and serve as building blocks for cells; however, high levels in the blood can increase your risk for developing certain medical conditions, including heart disease. Factors associated with high triglycerides include obesity, lack of physical activity, a high-carbohydrate diet, and excessive alcohol use. People with extremely high triglycerides can develop other conditions, such as fatty liver disease and pancreatitis.
