Of the entire population of Korea - study claimed “older” Koreans with cholesterol of 210 to 249 lived the longest. So many contradictions in this world!!! I’m sure there are studies with contradictions but being my cholesterol is 220 - I’m going with this one. 🙃.

“Total cholesterol and all-cause mortality by sex and age: a prospective cohort study among 12.8 million adults”

TC levels associated with lowest mortality were 210-249 mg/dL, except for men aged 18-34 years (180-219 mg/dL) and women aged 18-34 years (160-199 mg/dL) and 35-44 years (180-219 mg/dL). The inverse associations for TC < 200 mg/dL were stronger than the positive associations in the upper range.
