2. Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that
plays essential roles in the body. Your body uses
it to create hormones, cells, and other essential
substances such as vitamin D and bile (a fluid
that aids in digestion). There are several
dangers associated with high cholesterol.

3. Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) is a type of cholesterol found in the
blood. It is often referred to as "bad cholesterol" because high levels of
LDL can lead to a buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries, increasing
the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Known as "good" cholesterol, HDL assists in removing extra
cholesterol from the arteries and delivering it to the liver for
processing before being eliminated from the body. A lower risk of
heart disease is associated with higher HDL levels.

HIGH-DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN (HDL)

4. Total Cholesterol:
Less than 200
mg/dL
LDL Cholesterol:
Less than 100
mg/dL
HDL Cholesterol:
50 mg/dL
Triglycerides: Less
than 150 mg/dL
Hypercholesterolemia, or dyslipidemia, is
characterized by high amounts of cholesterol. A
person's risk of heart disease may increase if their
HDL cholesterol level is too low and their LDL
cholesterol level is higher than average.

5. There are many differences between how
cholesterol impacts the risk of heart disease in men
and women. Compared to men, women often have
higher amounts of HDL cholesterol, which may
provide some protection from heart disease.

cholesterol testing and heart health evaluations for
women, especially during and after menopause. It is
