I'm buying additional life insurance and my numbers from the life insurance medical exam came back as follows:

Total Cholesterol: 181
LDL: 103.60
HDL: 44
Chol/HDL Chol Ratio: 4.11
Triglycerides: 167

I'm a 54yo Male, 5'10"/175lbs. I'm in good health, I run 20-30 miles per week. I'm not on any meds.

The rest of the blood work looks good as far as I can tell.

How are these numbers? Good? Bad? Average? Anything I need to worry about in regards to the Life Insurance folks? In other words, any red flags as far as they might be concerned?

The only # out of range is triglycerides which should be 150 or less. I don't know how that would figure into the underwriter's rating of a policy.
