?: Ok. Best answer i can give you is that you will expect more candles on your birthday cake. Don't be so grim. The shear fact of turning a number has less to do with how you feel than how you are treating your body. If you are smoking, drinking heavily and abusing your body you can expect more aches and pains and to age quicker. We all grow old. Parts will start to fail. Just enjoy the ride.

Same as 39: Though if you have never had a fasting lipid panel, it would be a good idea.
