A member asked:

What to do if i have a 9.2 cholesterol how dangerous is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

SI units?: In the US, we use mg/dl - I'm assuming your 9.2 is in SI units? That converts to 355 which is high. However, the risk is impossible to determine without knowing your LDL, HDL, smoking status, gender, diabetes status, blood pressure status. Once you get that info, go to: http://tools.cardiosource.org/ASCVD-Risk-Estimator/
