Answer to Question 1

Healthcare providers evaluate the proportions of HDL and LDL that comprise this total. Thus, 2 people who have a total cholesterol level of 190 mg/dL, may still have very different risks for developing heart disease.
One person might have an HDL level of 30 mg/dL and an LDL level of 150 mg/dL (VLDL makes up the rest of the cholesterol). This person has a high level of LDL, which may lead to atherosclerosis, and a low level of HDL, which may be less protective against the buildup of plaque in the blood vessels.
The other person might have an HDL level of 70 mg/dL and an LDL level of 110 mg/dL. This person has LDL levels that do not put them at higher risk of atherosclerosis and HDL levels that are more protective against the development of heart disease.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
