Tests Included:
- Total Cholesterol: Your total cholesterol is directly linked to your heart and blood vessel disease risk.
- Triglycerides: Triglycerides are related to heart and blood vessel disease. Eating simple sugars and simple carbohydrates, a high-fat diet and drinking alcohol can cause high TG levels. Exercise can help lower levels.
- High-density lipoprotein (HDL): This test identifies your “good cholesterol.” High levels reduce your risk of heart and blood vessel disease.
- Low-density lipoprotein (LDL): LDL is “bad cholesterol.” High levels are linked to a greater risk of heart and blood vessel disease.
- Cholesterol/HDL Ratio (calculated):
- Non-HDL Cholesterol (calculated):
