I'm a little concerned about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is at 234, triglycerides are 169, HDL cholesterol is 46.2, and non-HDL cholesterol is 193. I'm really wondering how risky these numbers are. Should I be thinking about taking me...

Accepted Answer

Total cholesterol of 234 mgdL is slightly above the desirable level of less than 200 mgdL. Triglycerides of 169 mgdL are also slightly elevated, while HDL cholesterol of 46.2 mgdL is below the optimal level of 60 mgdL. Non-HDL cholesterol of 193 mgdL is also slightly elevated. These values indicate a moderate risk for cardiovascular disease. In this case, lifestyle changes are recommended as the first step to improve your cholesterol levels. This includes following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking. If lifestyle changes alone are not sufficient to bring your cholesterol levels to the desired range, medication may be considered. Statin medications such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) or Rosuvastatin (brand name Crestor) may be prescribed to help lower cholesterol levels. The dosage and specific medication will depend on your individual health profile and risk factors. Regular monitoring of your cholesterol levels and working closely with your healthcare provider will help determine the most appropriate course of action for managing your cholesterol levels.
