The lipid profile is good. LDL levels and triglyceride levels which are important targets are well within the range. The HDL levels could be better, but no reason for worry. Regular physical activity and quitting smoking if you do are a few ways to raise HDL levels. Are you on any medications? How old are you? Are you a diabetic? Do you have a family history of heart disease? These questions are important to answer when analysing a lipid profile report.
