I think cholesterol levels are largely genetic. I am female and my hdl
varies between 90s to 128. My last physical for life insurance showed the
following cholesterol and triglyceride numbers: Total Cholesterol 274; HDL:
128.4; LDL137; Triglycerides: 45
High hdl can also by symptomatic of low thyroid.
