Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Having a high LDL cholesterol level (5.0 mmol/L or higher) is a risk factor for CVD, as it can lead to the build-up of plaque in the arteries and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Triglycerides less than 1.5 mmol/L and high HDL above 1.55 mmol/L are actually beneficial for cardiovascular health. Total blood cholesterol below 4.14 mmol/L is within a healthy range, but the ratio of LDL to HDL cholesterol is a more accurate indicator of CVD risk.
