Fairly good but...: You have a fairly healthy profile except for a low HDL of 36.Make sure you are at your ideal body weight.If there is anything you can do to improve your diet and your triglyceride do so.If you don't have a strong family history of heart disease and do not smoke, I am not sure that there is a strong indication for statins.Coronary calcium score is useful to define risk and help decide about statin.
