Vegetarians have more favorable levels of a number of biomarkers

Total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol concentrations for vegetarians
were 21% and 16.4% lower than in meat-eaters. But some biomarkers
considered beneficial including vitamin D concentrations were lower
in vegetarians, while some considered unhealthy including
triglycerides and cystatin-C levels were higher.

I suspect that thyroid hormone levels are more closely associated with cholesterol levels than vegetarian/vegan/meat-eating.
