Ever wondered how accurate your cholesterol results are?

This article explains how your results may not be what you expected and why.

A variety of factors can affect the accuracy of your test results including, age, your sex, seasonal variations, recent changes in diet or weight, alcohol intake, exercise, family history, other illnesses, pregnancy and certain medications.
