A member asked:

My cholestrol levels tested 4.2mmols. is this healthy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Your total cholesterol is in the normal range. However you need to also know about HDL, triglycerides and LDL. Targets for cholesterol, especially LDL take into account other risk factors, such as family history, smoking and diabetes. It would be prudent to discuss this with your doctor.

A member asked:

Have cholesterol levels tested. Total: 4.6 mmol/L HDL:1.3 LDL:2.9 Tryglycerides: 1.0 If I used formula should total value be LDL+HDL+ 20% Triglycerides = 4.4 (not 4,6?) Could this be due to difference between measuring and calculating or otherwise?
