Lifestyle Contributions • Irregular meals, long commutes with little exercise, and an increasing culture of alcohol and smoking are pushing up cholesterol levels. • Obesity is another major factor linked to sedentary work. 3. Healthcare Access in NCR • The region is home to top cardiac hospitals, NABL-accredited labs, and corporate health programs. • Cholesterol testing is both accessible and affordable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a basic lipid profile include?
It usually measures Total Cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), Triglycerides, and sometimes VLDL.
What are the ideal lipid values?
Ideally, total cholesterol should be less than 200 mg/dL, while LDL should stay below 100 mg/dL. HDL should be above 40 mg/dL in men and above 50 mg/dL in women. Triglyceride levels are considered healthy when they are under 150 mg/dL.
How much does a lipid profile cost in Delhi NCR?
The cost varies: government hospitals ₹300–600, private labs ₹600–1200, and premium labs or home collection ₹1000–1800.
How often should cholesterol be tested?
Healthy adults should get a lipid profile once every 4–6 years, but in high-risk groups (obesity, diabetes, smoking, family history, or living in high-stress urban environments like NCR), testing every 1–2 years is recommended. If you’re on cholesterol-lowering medicines, repeat every 3–6 months as advised by your doctor.
