Your LDL is the most important with the other results satisfactory and it is not shown. Good dietary intake and exercise. are your most important considerations. Good Luck

You are correct to concern. Although your HDL is good and Cholesterol/HDL is fine but your LDL and non HDL cholesterol are too high. If you have not taken medication yet you may need it besides more diet restriction. This is just my opinion, you should rediscuss with your family doctor in the next visit.
