Mine has always been high in the normal range- and it still is. It runs in my family. Luckily, with all the exercise I do my HDL/LDL ratio is really excellent so at the moment, its not a worry.

My mum who was more sedentary (plays a lot of golf, but really you need strenuous exercise, not just walking a golf course two times a week) had the high cholesterol AND the LDL/HDL ratio was bad too, she had a heart attack last November, a very mild one, but still. And since then she's taken up power walking and Curves (because her diet was already faultless) and its right back in the normal range.
