Read your own panel
Understand what total, LDL, HDL and triglycerides each describe, and why the ratios between them matter more than any single value.
Four numbers most people never read.
YOUR OWN ANSWERS
The hyperlipidemia questionnaire
The eighteen questions that make up the questionnaire domain of the ONU hyperlipidemia model: nine that raise the score and nine that can lower it. Answer them all and you get the band the model itself publishes for this domain.

This is the questionnaire domain of ONU’s own model, not a diagnosis and not a probability. Hyperlipidemia is found in a blood test; no set of questions can confirm or rule it out.
What you walk away with
Three things, in about five minutes.
Know what moves them
Diet pattern, activity, alcohol and weight all shift lipids, and the timescales over which they do are more encouraging than most people expect.
Questions that get a useful answer
Leave with specific things to ask, including whether your result should be repeated and when.

How it works
Three steps. No sign-up to begin.
- 01
Find your most recent panel
Keep the full report with its units and the laboratory reference ranges, not a single highlighted value.
- 02
Read it with the context
Fasting state, recent illness and medicines all affect a result. The report means more alongside them.
- 03
Agree a repeat interval
Lipids respond to change. Knowing when to re-test makes the next result meaningful.
What this is not.
- ONU does not publish a score for this area. The supplied model has unresolved gaps, and a number with no settled meaning would be worse than none.
- The supplied hyperlipidemia model defines risk groups whose point ranges are not consistent across the document.
- A lipid result is interpreted properly by a clinician with your history in front of them.
- If you have symptoms that worry you, contact a healthcare professional rather than waiting for an app.
Walk in prepared.
Take the list above to an appointment, and keep the everyday signals in view in the ONU app between visits.
