Total col. 226, hdl 56, ldl 151, ratio ldl/hdl 2.70. do i need a statin?

Not really: your ldls are considered bordeline. Unless you have had a heart attack or stroke, I would just try and follow a diet low in saturated fatty acids such as animal fats. Follow one that is high in unsturated such as nuts, avacados, olive oils. and don't smoke
