As a 49yr old male 5'9 177 lbs, active, non-smoker no family history of heart disease, I had the below cholesterol reading which resulted in doc putting me on 10mg of Crestor.
HDL-66
LDL-158
VLDL- 9
TG- 54
After taking that my numbers were:
HDL-66
LDL- 81
VLDL- 10
TG- 46
My LDL clearly went down a lot but nothing else really changed much? I'm wondering how much of a risk I'm really at without being on statins given the rest of my numbers. I do resistance training 3 days a week, some cardio and get about 8k steps a day. I have a balanced diet and I don't eat a lot of red meat but do eat a low of low fat dairy (2% milk and yogurt especially)
