Fasting Lipid Profile (Cholesterol)

Fasting Lipid Profile (Cholesterol)

Your fasting lipid profile is a panel of five bloods tests which measure the levels of various types of fats in your blood. Cholesterol is essential for the production of healthy cell membranes, hormones and bile acids. However elevated levels are harmful as they increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases (angina, heart attacks, stroke and peripheral vascular disease). Please be aware that people at high risk of cardiovascular disease may have individualised cholesterol targets which are lower than those for the general population.

Overview

Your fasting lipid profile result has been given a green flag as your readings are within the recommended ranges. You can read more about what this means below.

HDL Cholesterol

2.1

mmol/L

<= 0.7

0.8

0.9 - 2.3

2.4 - 2.9

>= 3.0

mmol/L

HDL Cholesterol

Your HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol result has been given a green flag as it is within the recommended range. HDL cholesterol is known as good cholesterol, as it helps remove excess cholesterol from your blood vessels where it also has an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effect. You can keep your HDL level healthy by eating a healthy balanced diet (incorporating whole grains and healthy fats such as those found in legumes, nuts, olive oil and avocados), taking regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy body weight for your height, limiting your alcohol consumption to less than 14 units per week and not smoking.

LDL Cholesterol

1.9

mmol/L

<= 2.9

3.0 - 4.9

>= 5.0

mmol/L

LDL Cholesterol

Your LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol result has been given a green flag as it is within the recommended range. LDL cholesterol is often referred to as bad cholesterol, and levels should ideally be kept as low as possible because high levels contribute to fatty build-ups in the arteries and increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). You can keep your LDL level healthy by eating a healthy balanced diet (incorporating whole grains and limiting saturated fats), taking regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy body weight for your height, limiting your alcohol consumption to less than 14 units per week and not smoking.

Cholesterol

4.2

mmol/L

<= 4.9

5.0 - 7.4

>= 7.5

mmol/L

Cholesterol

Your total cholesterol result has been given a green flag as it is within the recommended range. Total cholesterol is a measurement of all cholesterol (good and bad) that is present in the blood. You can keep your total cholesterol level healthy by eating a healthy balanced diet (incorporating whole grains and limiting saturated fats), taking regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy body weight for your height, limiting your alcohol consumption to less than 14 units per week and not smoking.

Total cholesterol/HDL ratio

2.00

Ratio

<= 3.99

4.00 - 6.09

>= 6.10

Ratio

Total cholesterol/HDL ratio

Your total cholesterol/HDL ratio has been given a green flag because it is within the recommended range. Increased total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations put you at an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases such as angina, heart attacks, stroke and peripheral vascular disease. The risk is particularly increased if you have a high level of non-HDL cholesterol and a low level of HDL cholesterol. Therefore this ratio is useful way of checking your cholesterol levels are balanced.

You can keep your Total Cholesterol/HDL ratio healthy by eating a healthy balanced diet (incorporating whole grains incorporating and healthy unsaturated fats, while limiting saturated fats), taking regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy body weight for your height, limiting your alcohol consumption to less than 14 units per week and not smoking.
