Cholesterol Test

A cholesterol test is an online screening tool designed to assess your risk for high cholesterol and associated cardiovascular conditions. It asks about diet, lifestyle, medical history, and risk factors to evaluate if elevated cholesterol may be a concern.

If you are overweight, follow a high-fat diet, have a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or are over 40 (men) or 50 (women), a cholesterol screening can help assess your risk.

High cholesterol itself doesn’t cause symptoms, but related risks include chest discomfort during activity, shortness of breath, or a history of heart disease or stroke.

The test poses questions about personal health, diet, physical activity, and existing conditions. Your answers are used to evaluate your likelihood of having raised cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risk.

Most online cholesterol screening tests can be completed within 5 to 10 minutes, with straightforward multiple-choice questions.

If your result indicates potential risk, consider consulting your GP or a cardiology professional for blood tests (like a lipid profile) and personalised advice on management.
