This paper seeks to explore the effectiveness of a new health-based metaheuristic algorithm inspired by the cholesterol metabolism of the human body. In the study, the main idea is the focus on the performance of the cholesterol algorithm on unconstrained continuous optimization problems. The performances of the proposed cholesterol algorithm are evaluated based on 23 comparison tests and results were compared with Particle Swarm Optimization, Genetic Algorithm, Grey Wolf Optimization, Whale Optimization Algorithm, Harris Hawks Optimization, Differential Evolution, FireFly Algorithm, Cuckoo Search, Multi-Verse Optimizer, and JAYA algorithms. Results showed that this novel cholesterol algorithm implementation can compete effectively with the best-known solution to test functions.
