A member asked:

Is this cholesterol level good or bad: hdl 1.00 mmol/l ldl 2.6 mmol/l triglyceride 0.8 mmol/l?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Conversion: In the usa, we don't tend to use system internationale units so i converted yours: HDL 39, LDL 100, tg: 70 - milligrams per deciliter. Your HDL is a tad low (high is better); your LDL and tg are normal and in the desirable range. Exercise and olive oil can raise your hdl. If you smoke, quitting will also raise your hdl. Primarily, HDL reflects your genetic inheritance.
