A member asked:

Need help interpreting results of lipid profile - triglycerides 116, hdl 75, ldl (indirect) 143. thai docs saying i need to treat but to my understanding when triglycerides are low, indirect ldl measure may be inaccurate. i am vegetarian and fit.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Triglycerides below 400 do not affect indirect measurement of LDL. You LDL is only slightly above the normal upper limit of 130. You may wish to exercise more and lose some weight. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
