Favorable: Hi. That's a nice profile, with LDL well under 100. HDL is good at 57. Based on the HDL, LDL, and total cholesterol, the calculation predicts a triglyceride of 180, which is a little high. The total cholesterol isn't a useful number other than playing a role in the calculations. Triglyceride can be very responsive to fat and sugar in the diet.
