Dr. Pan Yongyuan
A total cholesterol level of 69 is generally considered to be within the high blood lipid range. Normally, the reference range is approximately between 3.14 and 5.69. For individuals with elevated total cholesterol, early intervention and treatment under a doctor's guidance are necessary. Additionally, dietary control is important—avoid foods high in sugar and greasy or fatty foods, and refrain from overeating.
