A Total Cholesterol Test measures the total amount of cholesterol ...

When is the Cholesterol Test Prescribed?

Doctors recommend a cholesterol test in the following situations:

  • Routine health checkups (every 4-6 years for adults)
  • Family history of heart disease or high cholesterol
  • Obesity, diabetes, or high blood pressure
  • Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
  • Unhealthy lifestyle with poor diet and low physical activity
  • Monitoring cholesterol-lowering treatments

Normal Range for Total Cholesterol Test

The total cholesterol level is measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). The normal ranges are:

  • Desirable: Less than 200 mg/dL
  • Borderline High: 200-239 mg/dL
  • High: 240 mg/dL and above

Interpreting the Cholesterol Test Results

  • Normal (Below 200 mg/dL): Indicates a lower risk of heart disease.
  • Borderline (200-239 mg/dL): Slightly increased risk; lifestyle changes may be needed.
  • High (240 mg/dL and above): Significantly increased risk; medical intervention may be required.

Additionally, doctors may evaluate LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), and triglycerides for a complete lipid profile.

Time Required for the Cholesterol Test Reports

The cholesterol test is a simple blood test, usually requiring 8-12 hours of fasting for accurate results. Most laboratories provide test results within:

  • Within 8 hours for standard cholesterol tests
  • 1-2 days for a detailed lipid profile

What to Do After the Test?

Based on the test results, you should:

  1. Maintain a healthy diet – Reduce saturated fats, trans fats, and increase fiber intake.
  2. Exercise regularly – At least 30 minutes of physical activity daily.
  3. Quit smoking and limit alcohol – Smoking lowers good cholesterol, increasing heart risks.
