[QUOTE="douglas99, post: 710399, member: 38028"] It's because the calculations are wrong. The UK's NHS website. ' [SIZE=3][B]Total cholesterol level[/B][/SIZE] Blood cholesterol is measured in units called millimoles per litre of blood, often shortened to mmol/L. The government recommends that total cholesterol levels should be: [LIST] [*]5mmol/L or less for healthy adults [*]4mmol/L or less for those at high risk [/LIST] [SIZE=3][B]Levels of LDL and HDL[/B][/SIZE] The government recommends that levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) should be: [LIST] [*]3mmol/L or less for healthy adults [*]2mmol/L or less for those at high risk [/LIST] An ideal level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is above 1mmol/L. A lower level of HDL can increase your risk of heart disease. Your ratio of total cholesterol to HDL may also be calculated. This is your total cholesterol level divided by your HDL level. Generally, this ratio should be below four, as a higher ratio increases your risk of heart disease. [SIZE=3][B]Triglycerides[/B][/SIZE] Your ideal level of triglycerides should be less than 1.7mmol/l. [url]http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Cholesterol/Pages/Diagnosis.aspx[/url] [/QUOTE]
