A member asked:
My hdl cholesterol is 50mg. is it good or bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your HDL level is good. You can improve it further by regular aerobic exercise. You also need to consider other risks for heart disease.
