Hi
Recently got blood tests taken and here are the results:
TRIGLYCERIDES 1.37 mmol/L 0.00 - 2.30
CHOLESTEROL *6.34 mmol/L 0.00 - 4.99
HDL CHOLESTEROL *1.88 mmol/L 1.20 - 1.70 LDL
CHOLESTEROL *3.84 mmol/L 0.00 - 3.00
As a bit of background, I'm female, 49, 7stone 12, 5 ft 2, pretty fit and walk a lot. I'm vegetarian and eat fairly healthy, no high fat/fried foods and a lot of fruit and vegetables.
My HDL ratio is 3.37 and QRisk2 low. My feeling is that there's not much to worry about and I think my high cholesterol is probably down to genetics, and possibly hormonal imbalances playing their part too. Just wondering if people agree? Struggling to think what I could realistically change about my lifestyle.
Thanks
