Ok, so as someone who practices medicine, take my word for it: Worry more about your LDL, better yet, your apoB level, than your HDL. HDL numbers are meaningless as the actual functionality of the HDL particle is not measurable.

I’m not inclined to take someone’s word for it. But I’m also not committed to the various models I’ve looked at over the years that seem to weigh Hdl as far more meaningful a factor than LDL…either way, the devil is in the details and I doubt either of us is able to state a claim precisely with error bars…

The consensus is that elevated LDL equates to elevated risk of atherosclerosis. It's really not up for much debate amongst most physicians.
