Borderline elevation of blood lipids refers to blood lipids (including triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, etc.) that are slightly higher than normal.
The criteria for borderline elevation of triglycerides are 1.7~2.29mmol/L, for total cholesterol 5.2~6.19mmol/L, and for LDL cholesterol 3.4~4.09mmol/L.
If only triglycerides are borderline elevated, non-pharmacologic lipid-lowering therapies are generally used, such as low-salt and low-fat diets, increased exercise, and abstinence from smoking and alcohol.
If total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol are borderline elevated, priority should be given to lowering LDL cholesterol, generally with statins (e.g., atorvastatin), in conjunction with non-pharmacological lipid-lowering therapies.
All of the above treatments should be carried out under the supervision of a doctor, so if borderline elevation of lipids is found on examination, it is recommended to consult a doctor for further treatment.
