Hmmm...20%-40% might have been mentioned by him but I can't remember because I was so shocked, as I hadn't hear of this up till he'd mentioned it to me. I wasn't asking for a statin but this came up in conversation.
Risk profile? Dunno really, I suppose high LDL of 3.5/135, HDL a bit low at 1.35/52, TG middling at 0.97/86. I did get the HDL up to 1.65/64 by eating a couple of kilos of mussels each week, maybe I should start again but LDL stayed at 3.5/135. My hsCRP usually 0.5 or less. My White blood cells and RBC's and neutrophils always a bit below minimums but nobody seems to worry about that (3.24 vs 4, 4.29 vs 4.5 and 1.56 vs 2). Vit D3 is 143nmol/57ng and TSH at 1.9. My other stats are all in the Prolon thread here:

I did manage to get a particle size thingy done a while back but it took ages to organize (not common here) and had many delays with the result that I ended up doing it after I came back from a week of gourmet overeating and drinking, so it's value was questionable. It's attached. There was also a big discrepancy between the HDL shown on the graph 49mg and the Apo A1 of 1.88g/L. I asked them to explain and they said:
“of course, Apolipoprotein A1 is the major protein component of HDL particles and therefore Apo A1- and HDL-levels strongly correlate with each other.
However correlation means statistics and statistics doesn’t tell you much on an individual case. You must consider biological variation of HDL- and Apo A1-levels between individuals in addition to the variation coefficients of the two methods (each approx. 10 %).
To give an example: an HDL of 50 mg/dl doesn’t mean exactly an Apo A1 of 1.5 g/l, these levels only roughly correlate. Rather it is like this: with an HDL of 50 mg/dl the Apo A1 is between “x” and “y” with a probability of “z” %. Sorry, but I don’t have true numbers “x”, “y” and “z” available now. But because “z” is always less than 100, the individual case may still be the jackpot.”
Sound like waffle to me but I'm not an expert.
Parents died in mid eighties of old age really, possibly cancer.
Diet is good but some here think I eat a bit too much bread, at 30g a day of spelt sourdough. Some days 60g.
