Your results indicate that your lipid profile has a tendency to be altered with predominately, slightly high triglycerides; your cholesterol is within the upper limit. I shouldn't say to be "terribly" concerned, but, if you are 50 years and older, then you should take some serious changes to keep your lipid profile within the upper limits. All the best!
