cholesterol levels
Blood lipid readings
Cholesterol levels refer to the measured amounts of cholesterol in the blood, typically broken into categories: total cholesterol, LDL ("bad" cholesterol), HDL ("good" cholesterol), and triglycerides.
Doctors use these numbers to assess cardiovascular risk: Her cholesterol levels came back high.
The phrase often appears in discussions of diet, exercise, and heart health.
