My sisters hdl is 100, her ldl is 102 and triglycerides are 62. is that good. this is fasting.she is 57 years old and in good health.?

Yes: Those are fantastic numbers. In general you want the HDL (goos cholesterol) to be high and LDL and triglyceride to be low. Goal for each of the numbers depends on the patient's existing medical condition. Foe e.g. If she has diabetes or coronary disease her LDL should be lower than 100.
