When I had my bp measurement done and cholestrol levels checked at Hong Kong Adventist Hospital, I notice their standards do not take into consideration of a person's age.

The bp standard in China, for example, differs from that in Hong Kong. The upper bp is done by adding 90 to a man's age as being the safe limit. For example, I am 58 and therefore as long as my upper limit stays within 90+58 or 148, I am safe. That is a far cry from the Joint National Committee's 115 that applies to almost anyone that walks and talks!
Also the absence of age consideration is true of cholestrol levels. No age consideration is involved in the standards used by HK Adventist Hospital while in China age is a factor in the variation of standards.

Could not recall you touch on the age consideration. Could you reproduce them here?

Age should not be a consideration. There is no evidence that it should.

So by the standard of HK Adventist, my cholestrol level is still too high and needs to come down a bit more. Thanks. I am doing careful eating for the next 2 months before measuring it again. If it is still too high(above 200mg), I should take medication, if that is what you mean.

Low fat/cholesterol and *less*
Ask your doctor about the 2PD approach:
My doctors in Hong Kong are amongst the most UN- and anti-intellectual doctors in the whole world. All they are interested is $$$$$ and $. How many HK doctors have you seen around here?

FP
None. But then again there are many states and nations that are not represented by their doctors here.
