Preperation of Indian Guidelines is a very good initiative - a link to the guidelines would have helped. There is a very large amount of studies on the negative side effects of statin medications - life style changes / natural alternatives are a better option to lower cholesterol. Again, there is enough study data pointing out that higher cholesterol in younger and older populations is actually required and beneficial - do not know if the guidelines reflect this - most doctors, unfortunately apply the same cholesterol yardstick to every age bracket. There is a lot to say about cholesterol / lipids but this space is probably not the place for such a discussion.

Useless and Dangerous. Just talks of LDL and not the ratios. Also Triglycerides are the issue and not LDL
