LDL cholesterol 3.38mmol/L is within the normal range. However, LDL cholesterol 3.38mmol/L is higher if you suffer from hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular atherosclerosis or are older.
The normal range for LDL cholesterol should be less than 3.4 mmol per liter, but of course this normal value is for most normal people without risk factors for atherosclerosis. If there is hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular atherosclerosis, or older age, etc., LDL cholesterol in this case should be controlled at a much lower level, generally requiring less than 2.6 mmol/L.
LDL cholesterol, which is transformed from LDL in plasma, is mainly synthesized in blood vessels and degraded in the liver, and is an important indicator for evaluating the risk factors for the occurrence of individual coronary heart disease.
It is recommended to reduce the risk of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease by actively engaging in aerobic exercise, eating a healthy diet, and eliminating smoking and alcohol in normal life.
