🧬 Frequently Asked Questions (Lipid Profile Analyzer)

1. What is a lipid profile test?

A lipid profile test measures different types of fats in your blood — including total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and VLDL — to evaluate your heart and metabolic health.

2. What are normal lipid profile values?

  • Total Cholesterol: Less than 200 mg/dL
  • HDL (Good): Above 40 mg/dL (men), Above 50 mg/dL (women)
  • LDL (Bad): Less than 100 mg/dL
  • Triglycerides: Less than 150 mg/dL
  • VLDL: 2–30 mg/dL

3. What does high cholesterol mean?

High cholesterol means excess LDL or total cholesterol levels, which can lead to fat buildup in arteries, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Regular monitoring helps manage it early.

4. How can I improve my lipid profile?

You can improve your lipid levels through lifestyle changes like a low-fat diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking, reducing sugar intake, and maintaining a healthy weight. In some cases, doctors may prescribe medication.

5. What is the cholesterol to HDL ratio?

The Cholesterol/HDL ratio compares total cholesterol to “good” cholesterol. A lower ratio (<3.5) indicates better heart health, while a higher ratio (>5) suggests an increased cardiovascular risk.

6. Can this tool replace a doctor’s consultation?

❌ No. This tool provides a general health interpretation based on standard clinical guidelines. Always consult a certified healthcare provider for professional diagnosis and treatment advice.

7. How often should I test my lipid profile?

Adults should get a fasting lipid profile every 4–6 years, or more frequently if they have diabetes, hypertension, obesity, or a family history of heart disease.
