Also, more info on how to interpret percentile comparison scores to other people's. How does age, education, health, experience enter in and change scores. How should I react to scoring in a 20%, a 30%, a 40%, a 60% etc. range? Who is this in comparison to? By age or what? How do you figure this out? Thanks Would appreciate more info on how one part of my profile score relates to the other parts and how to improve the lower scores.

"Do Psychological Factors Affect Inflammation and Incident Coronary Heart Disease" It seems to be a different study as this one tested 6396 civil servants When I clicked on your link to the British Study this is what I got which does not mention memory.

Because HDL counters the bad effects of LDL, many doctors believe the ratio of HDL to LDL is more important than the total. You want HDL to be high, even if it pushes your overall cholesterol up.

The only explanation given was genetics. So, how does the total number affect me, when good and bad numbers separately are in great shape? Any explanation for the diff besides genetics?

Large differences are obviously much more important (and should be prioritized by readers accordingly) than small differences.

Well, in any case, if one wants to raise HDL exercise would be high on list anyway; and of course exercise should be high on the list.
