My step brother has recently has a cholesterol test (BUPA) but not told to fast!! Ate a curry at around 9 pm and had an apple at around 7am. Tests at 7.30 am.
Total cholesterol 5.3
LDL 3.72
HDL. 1.3
Total HDL ratio. 4.1
Trigs 0.6
When I put it into a calculator it says medium risk but HDL high risk.
My question is, is this a worthless test as it wasn’t fasted? Thanks.
