Hello,
The statin requirement is not only based on LDL levels. It depends on age, gender, BP, blood sugar, smoking status etc. LDL level of 130 eg for you at 29 years age without any other illness is acceptable but the same level in a 60 years old who has diabetes is high and needs statins. I hope i am clear. You being a 29 years old and assuming you do not have any other medical illness you only need statins if your LDL is above 190. Till then you can manage it on lifestyle modifications. For further clarification kindly consult directly online
Take care
