Cholesterol lowering medications may be prescribed even if cholesterol levels are relatively normal, if the risk of developing heart disease or stroke is high. Total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and body mass index (BMI) are all assessed by a doctor to determine whet...
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol, is the type that tends to deposit on the walls of the arteries. White blood cells combine with the LDL cholesterol, forming artery-narrowing plaque, which restricts blood flow. The optimal level of LDL cholestero...

THE EFFECTS OF NICOTINIC ACID ON BLOOD LIPIDS IN PATIENTS WITH LOW HDL-CHOLESTEROL AND NORMAL TOTAL CHOLESTEROL LEVELSSquire, R. W.Gau, G. T.Kottke, B. A.Miller, T. D.Allison, T. G.Joyner, S. C.Donahoe, P. L.Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Prevention...
Total cholesterol formula: HDL cholesterol + LDL cholesterol + 20% of the triglyceride level. So, if your levels are 72 HDL, 107 LDL and 120 triglyceride, that equation would look like: 40 + 116 + 24 (which is 20% of 120) = 180 total cholesterol. Total blood cholesterol that’s under...
1 . Using Zak-Henly's method, total serum cholesterol levels were determined in 6977 mormal subjects, 4855 males and 2122 females, in 7 large cities in Japan. 2. Total serum cholesterol level rose with advancing age in both sexes. The difference between both sexes was not remarkable. The ...

Analysis of blood lipids should be repeated routinely in many patients, and limiting testing to total cholesterol may eliminate the need for fasting prior to sampling, thereby saving time and money. The primary aim was to investigate the sufficiency of S‐cholesterol analysis (TC) in monitoring ...
