[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2380275, member: 480869"] There are (ldl) hyperresponders. They have very high numbers usually. That still hasn’t translated into higher poor cvd outcomes though. There’s links to this issue in the long thread linked to above. Also note that ldl is calculated not measured and the assumptions used don’t fit low carb well. Also ldl could vary in protectiveness/damaging potential by particle size. They also rarely check this. Low carb encourages the protective large buoyant particles and lowers the small dense potentially harmful ones. Or you can get a cac scan to see what level of damage you have if any in your arteries. I see you found a calculator - was that Qrisk 2/3? My biggest gripe with those is there’s no accounting for control of diabetes and postcode makes big assumptions for an individual. A few 100m can give some quite different results. these are specific cholesterol calculators you might find interesting [URL]https://cholesterolcode.com/new-report-tool-launched/[/URL] [URL]https://www.hughcalc.org/chol-si.php[/URL] [/QUOTE]
