Lab values: Your lab values are not problematic unless you have a family history of atherosclerotic disease, diabetes, hypertension, etc. If you have any of the previous then we'd like to see the LDL around 80, we can't do much about HDL and the other values are normal. For all of us prudent diet and exercise are important.

Depends on Particles: Cardiovascular (cvd) risk is related to the number of LDL and HDL particles (ldl-p, hdl-p). Ldl can be estimated by cholesterol (ldl-c) or measured by particle number (ldl-p). Ldl-c and ldl-p do not equally predict cardiovascular risk. When ldl-c and ldl-p values disagree (due to cholesterol variability per particle) cvd risk tracks with LDL particle number, not ldl-c values.
