Non-HDL cholesterol levels can be influenced by diet and lifestyle factors. Patterns often linked with lower non-HDL cholesterol include less fried food, more exercise, and a balanced diet.
What if Non-HDL Cholesterol Results Are Low?
There is no single "normal" or "abnormal" value for non-HDL cholesterol. Higher values are associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, so lower levels are generally considered more favourable.
