Hyperlipidemia: This is an interesting and much debatable subject. The answer depends on your risk factors for heart disease. Age is one of those risk factors, and you are high risk if you are over 45 for men and 55 for women. Other risk factors are gender (men have higher risk), smoking, blood pressure, and family history of heart disease. Without risk factors, this is a normal LDL level.

One of the rare things wrong with my PHYSICAL health are LDL cholest. (4.08 mmol/L) and HDL cholest. (1.5 mmol/L). LDL was constantly like this for a few years but my HDL was always good till now. Why is this? (I'm athletic, don't smoke/drink/drugs).
