I have done alot of research about this and at first was stressed out that I am actually unhealthy with these levels. My ratio is 2.3 to 1

My HDL has remained the same over the past 5 years as my LDL plummetted. I have lost 160 lbs. naturally over the past 3 years. I will work on raising my HDL if possible since I already eat a healthy vegan diet, exercise like a fiend.

Question is to confirm that these numbers are not alarming? I am being re-tested in 6 weeks to double check. I also had some low/high blood cell levels which may indicate a low grade infection but that is different story. Here are my numbers for past 5 years:

Component
CHOLESTEROL (2003)- 202 (2005)- 134 (2008)- 88
TRIGLYCERIDE (2003)- 148 (2005)- 75 (2008)- 57
HDL (2003)- 35 (2005)- 38 (2008)- 37
LDL CALCULATED (2003)- 137 (2005)- 81 (2008)- 40

Thoughts?
