In general, a triglyceride level of 1.02 mmol/L is considered normal.
Triglycerides are fat molecules and one of the main forms of energy storage and transport in the human body. They are primarily derived from dietary fats, although they can also be synthesized in the liver. The normal range for triglycerides is typically defined as 0.45–1.69 mmol/L or a similar numerical range. A triglyceride level of 1.02 mmol/L is usually within the normal range and helps maintain normal physiological functions of the body.
However, even with normal triglyceride levels, other cardiovascular risks cannot be completely ruled out. Triglyceride levels should be considered together with other risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and blood pressure. If there are any concerns about test results, it is important to consult a doctor promptly to receive appropriate advice based on overall health status.
In daily life, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, smoking cessation, and moderate alcohol consumption, to comprehensively reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
