A member asked:

My hdl cholestrol is 49.5 and ldl cholestrol is 42.5. very low than normal. what are the risk factors involved ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No risk: Hi. That lipoprotein profile per se confers no risk on you. There are populations who have LDL in that range, and suffer no ill effects. In fact, it's probably GOOD for you. Live healthily and exercise regularly. Good luck!
