[QUOTE="mpe, post: 510745, member: 60109"] The biggest irony here is that 4.8 may well be too LOW. There's data showing that the healthy range is something like 5.2-6.2 mmol/l Satins havn't been shown to do anything help women at all. It also appears to be the case that healthy cholesterol levels in women are somewhat higher than in men. Also the guidelines take no account of gender (or age). LDL particle size (and count) might well be a better indication of CVD risk. But the tests typically carried out are useless for determining this. [/QUOTE]
