Both my parents are vegan, thin, active, eat basically the same things but one has "bad" cholesterol numbers and one has good. We know so little!

It could be entirely genetic. Worst case could be that some groups just tend to die earlier from these diseases... There could be some somewhat invasive medications to fix thigs. But they are likely very far away...

Define earlier. My great grandpa was vegan too. Since WWI. Thin (but not tall :))and had high cholesterol. Died in his 70s.
