What Causes High HDL Levels In An Underweight Person?
My HDL is very high 135, and my LDL is very low, 38. I m very thin at 5 7 and 109 lbs. I don t seem to be able to gain or retain any fat. I consider myself to have eaten well for over 40 years. Should I be concerned about my numbers and is there a possible correlation to the numbers and my weight?

no clinical studies showed high level of HDL influencing body weight.
dont bother about it.
