A member asked:
First cholesterol test in 1982 was 203. last test in 2013 was 213 with ldl and hdl all in normal ranges. is this a good or bad sign?

Very good/keep up,,,: This is very good as you've apparently kept your cholesterol from increasing dramatically. Everything else is in range so if you keep working on that total and do good diet and exercise, you'll be doing everything you can short of meds to keep it under control. Best of luck.

Not bad: It's a subtle difference, and if the subtypes are in normal ranges you should be good to go.
