Quick one about cholesterol levels

2 replies

I had a blood test for work and was wondering about my results.

My total cholesterol was 5.5 , HDL was 1.85 and my triglucerides was 0.65...im not sure if this is ok or just slightly higher than desirable as i do no exercise..i dont seem to have LDL results on it though. Can anyone tell me ?
Thanks !

total is a bit high, but HDL (good cholesterol) and triglicerides are v good, so ratio of good to bad cholesterol is likely to be pretty good, they almost certainly wouldnt suggest statins with those readings.

Thats good to know thank you. Our occupational health didnt seem concerned at all but i was just curious. :)
