A member asked:
Is a total cholesterol result of 257 mg/dl anything to worry about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : It is considered elevated. Want it at least under 200 or even lower depending on co-morbidness (e.g. Hypertension, diabetes, family history, etc.). A heart healthy diet and regular exercise program is the first step.
