What is a good cholesterol level?
This chart is a general guideline for ideal cholesterol and triglyceride levels for healthy adults in the UK. Your target may be lower if you have conditions like heart disease or diabetes. Your doctor will give you individual target values.
Women naturally have higher levels of HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) than men because of genetic differences. You should aim for HDL cholesterol above 1.2 mmol/L for women and above 1 mmol/L for men.
Your Cholesterol test result might arise during the pregnancy. Our medical advice is to wait until at least 6-8 weeks you stopped breastfeeding after giving birth to get your LDL level checked using PExp Cholesterol home test.
Your Cholesterol level might rise also during menopause.

Test Results will show :
+ Total Cholesterol
Total cholesterol is a measure of the amount of total cholesterol in the blood, including low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. It is used to produce hormones for development, growth, and reproduction. A total test for cholesterol is used to assess your risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
+ High Density Lipoprotein
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a form of cholesterol that is classified as "good" cholesterol. Its main function is to remove cholesterol from the heart arteries. The HDL test is used to assess your risk of developing heart disease.
+ Low Density Lipoprotein
Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are classified as "bad" cholesterol, causing cholesterol to build up and clog arteries. An LDL test is used to assess your risk of developing heart disease.
+ Total Cholesterl: HDL Ratio
The total cholesterol: HDL ratio is a calculation that gives you the amount of "good" cholesterol in terms of total cholesterol in your body. HDL helps remove cholesterol from the heart arteries. The total cholesterol: HDL ratio test is used to assess your risk of developing heart disease.
+ Non-HDL Cholesterol
NonHDL cholesterol is the amount of total cholesterol without high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which is the “good” cholesterol. The NON HDL test is used to examine your lipid profile when assessing your risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
+ Triglyceride
Triglycerides are a type of fat stored in body tissues and can be obtained from foods such as butter and vegetable oils. The triglyceride test is used to examine your lipid profile when assessing your risk of developing heart disease.
