Glossary Lipid Levels

concentration of fats in blood, including cholesterol and triglycerides

Lipid levels refer to the concentration of fats in the blood, including cholesterol and triglycerides. These levels are crucial indicators of cardiovascular health, as imbalances can lead to conditions like atherosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke. Regular monitoring of lipid levels, often through a blood test, helps in managing and preventing these health issues.
