Cholesterol Levels
Measuring the total cholesterol (cholestrol) in the blood is the main way to
measure blood cholesterol. The number given to a patient is reflected
by this in mg (milligrams) per dL (deciliter).
It is classified according to different levels. These findings are
translated, taking into account such risks as gender, race, high blood
pressure, age, lack of exercise, family medical history, diabetes and
obesity.
According to the American Heart Association, everyone over 20 years
should have their lipoprotein profiling done about every 5 years. The
test results show the overall cholesterol, amounts of low-density
lipoproteins (bad cholesterol), triglycerides or blood fats, and
high-density lipoproteins (HDL) or good cholesterol. Click the link for complete info about Cholesterol Levels
