Hi,

I was wondering if my LDL/HDL ratio is something to be concerned about.

LDL - 117.9 (normal is 1-130)

HDL - 43 (normal is 35-120)

Total Cholesterol - 177.5 (normal is 110-200)

I can see that my LDL levels are way higher than my HDL. Should this be looked into?

Thanks!

Your numbers look pretty good. How about your triglyceride levels?

Depending also on your age and if these numbers are without any medication, your weight is in balance etc., you should judge yourself to be in pretty good health.

I think you would get a preferred rate on a life insurance policy.
