Cholesterol Test - Mayo Clinic by straight00 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A cholesterol test, also known as a lipid panel, measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood to assess the risk of heart disease. It is recommended for adults to be tested every five years starting at age 18, with more frequent testing for those at higher risk. The test results help determine the levels of total cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and triglycerides, guiding lifestyle changes or medication if necessary.
