Can a good cholesterol ratio CR offset the risks of high Less healthy low density lipoprotein LDL? I've received conflicting information from Drs over the past few years with one saying my cholesterol is great as long as the CR is ≤3.5 and another saying I still need to lower my LDL to be ~100. - Current Cholesterol ratio CR: 3.5 - Current Less healthy low density lipoprotein LDL cholesterol: 177 These numbers seem to match what's called lean mass hyper responders LMHRs. https://search.brave.com/search?q=Do+lean+mass+hyper+responders+have+a+higher+cardiac+risk%3F&source=web&summary=1&conversation=5f7f600f4fe47a8678d944

not sure if it would offset, what i know is normal range of cholesterol ratio is not really a good indicator of high/low risk, the doctors i've went to in indo, all give the same advice, to keep HDL high, LDL low, and CR as a general indicator, not as the final conclusion.

Thanks! That's the strategy I'm going with rather than fully relying on the CR. I'll start using CBD this week to help with inflammation and get back to cardio and strength training. In the future it'd be interesting to do a Coronary artery calcium CAC test that measures plaque and see how good of a indicator CR could be.
