[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2305913, member: 41816"] If you have time, have a forum search for cholesterol threads, you will find a lot of information scattered through them, including discussions on sat fat and statins. I found this study interesting (although you will need to translate the figs into the units used in the UK to understand the ranges discussed) This converter table is from the Mayo Clinic [B]Total cholesterol(U.S. and some other countries)[/B] = [B]Total cholesterol*(Canada and most of Europe)[/B] Below 200 mg/dL = Below 5.2 mmol/L 200-239 mg/dL = 5.2-6.2 mmol/L 240 mg/dL and above = Above 6.2 mmol/L (your reading in the 4s is approx 160-190 mg/dL which reflects a higher overall mortality than someone whose reading is over 200-240 mg/dL but I haven't checked those figs in detail) [URL]https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-38461-y[/URL] [IMG]https://media.springernature.com/lw685/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-018-38461-y/MediaObjects/41598_2018_38461_Fig3_HTML.png[/IMG] and this chart, while old, and only looking at men, kinda says it all: [IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CG0po7aVIAA39KI?format=jpg&name=large[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
