Does cholesterol increase with age?
I'm 20 at the moment. I am not currently over weight but I used to be. By about 25lbs. I have good blood pressure and am healthy over all. I was looking at my lipid profile from about 4 years ago , not even. About 3 1/2 years ago. Here is what it said...
Cholesterol 193
Triglycerides 118
HDL 74
LDL 95
LDL/HDL ratio 1.28
Is this high for a 17 year old?? And will it get even higher with age or does it depend on your diet? I know my dad has high cholesterol but to be fair he doesn't eat healthy at all. I'm going to get it checked again soon
