While the phrases "highly related" or "have a high level of correlation" are understandable, they can sound a bit formal or less natural in everyday speech. 
For instance, instead of saying "A and B are highly related," a native speaker might say "A and B are closely intertwined" or "There's a strong link between A and B." 
Similarly, rather than saying "A and B have a high level of correlation," it's more conversational to say "A and B are directly correlated" or "A strongly influences B."
