Based on your
lipid profile:
1.
Triglycerides: Your level of 86 mg/dL is within the normal range, which is a positive sign.
2. Total cholesterol: At 196.3 mg/dL, this is slightly on the higher side but still close to the recommended limit of less than 200 mg/dL.
3.
HDL: At 39.4 mg/dL, your "good cholesterol" is a bit low. Ideally, you want HDL levels to be higher than 40 mg/dL for men to provide protective cardiovascular benefits.
4.
LDL: Your "bad cholesterol" level of 139.4 mg/dL is slightly elevated, as optimal LDL should be below 130 mg/dL.
5. Non-HDL cholesterol: This at 156.6 mg/dL is above the desired range of less than 130 mg/dL, which indicates an increased risk for cardiovascular issues.
Overall, your LDL and non-HDL cholesterol levels are on the higher side, and your HDL is on the lower side. It is advisable to adopt a healthier lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Depending on other risk factors, medications might be required, but this should be discussed with a doctor after further evaluation.
