Cholesterol
I had my cholesterol check up today and the reports says HDL -35.2
And chol/hdl ratio is -3
Is this at risk
The refernce range for hdl is 40, but this reference range is derived from western(european and american ) population, indians have anyhow lower hdl levels. I think its normal by indian standards and nothing needs to be done, excercise is good for anyone
