ApoA1
Low reflects fewer protective particles; evaluate together with HDL/ApoB.
| Rating | Range | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Talk to a doctor | below 1 g/L | Low — fewer protective particles. |
| Good | 1 g/L and above | At optimum. |
This marker also has 2 age- or sex-specific range sets in the app — the table shows the general one.
Why it matters
Low reflects fewer protective particles; evaluate together with HDL/ApoB.
If it’s low
Low ApoA1 indicates fewer protective HDL particles — often with metabolic risk.
If it’s high
High ApoA1 is mostly favorable — a lot of protective particles.
What to do
The same as for HDL: exercise, quitting smoking, a healthy weight and triglycerides.
When to see a doctor
Low ApoA1 with high ApoB (unfavorable ratio)
