[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2128376, member: 355878"] As you are no longer out of the normal range you will probably not get much interest from now on - I had NFA put on my notes a couple of years ago. Personally, from what I can find out from 'real facts', cholesterol is not something to bother about - we are advised to lower LDL - actually - having higher LDL seems to be either not a problem or actually advantageous. Someone (BMJ Open) decided to check up and compared age at death and final LDL levels. Assuming that both LDL level and age at death are pretty much set in stone, I wouldn't worry about cholesterol testing. [/QUOTE]
