I am a 78 year old female. I am 5'5" tall 126 lbs. I do weight-bearing exercises and therabands 4 times a week for 45 minutes, and walk 1-1/2 to 2 miles 3 times a week. I also bowl twice a week. I also have celiac disease, and watch my food regimen closely, eating gluten free foods, lots of fruits and veggies and a fairly high protein diet.
Recent lipid profile shows overall
Cholesterol somewhat high 216 in a range of 0-200
Triglycerides 209 in a range of 35-200
HDL 55 in a range of 45-65
VLDL 42 in a range of 0- 75
LDL-CALC'D 119 in a range of 0-130
CHOL/HDL RISK Ratio 3.9 in a range of 3.5-4.4 Below Ave Risk
I would like to be in a Low Risk Ratio <3.5
I do not want to take statin drugs. The only Rx I take is Fosamax 70mg +2800 iu D weekly, lots of vitamins, calcium and D3. I am generally healthy for my age and would like your opinion if I need to worry about the High Triglycerides which always seem to come up high. Thank you for your answer.
