My fasting test report shows the following: Total cholesterol: 265 mg/dl, Triglycerides: 256 mg/dl, HDL: 44.8 mg/dl, LDL: 171 mg/dl, VLDL: 171 mg/dl, Non HDL: 220 mg/dl. Could you please assist in interpreting these results? What could be the possible reasons for these values, and is this really risky?
