Your LDL of 131 is mildly elevated, but more importantly, your HDL of 23 is significantly low â HDL is the 'good' cholesterol that protects the heart, and low levels increase cardiovascular risk. At 27 years of age, lifestyle changes like regular aerobic exercise, reducing saturated and fried fats, increasing fiber intake, and avoiding smoking can meaningfully improve both numbers. Whether medication is also needed depends on your overall cardiovascular risk profile and other health history.
Next Steps
Please consult a physician with your full lipid profile for a proper risk assessment. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.

Yes, the cholesterol levels are abnormal.
LDL 131 mg/dL â mildly high
HDL 23 mg/dL â very low
At age 27, diet, regular exercise, weight control, and avoiding smoking/tobacco are usually the first steps. Repeat the lipid profile after 3 months.
Medication is not always needed initially unless there are other risk factors (diabetes, high BP, smoking, family history of heart disease). Consult your doctor for personalized advice.

It is a very vague question without proper history. LDL values, although more than normal person its optimal value for you depends on your history. For example for cardiac patients and patients with family history of early cardiac issues we need to keep the levels below normal level. Also depends on what you eat, your BMI and other causes for elevated LDL etc... blindly taking medications is not good without evaluating why you have a higher LDL compared to a normal person. You might end up just doing symptomatic treatment without treating the cause and medication have their side effects as well. You are a young patient so get it evaluated. Hope this helps.
Next Steps
