ApoB counts every particle in your blood that can lodge in an artery wall.
Apolipoprotein B is the protein that carries LDL, VLDL and other plaque-forming particles in the blood. Cleveland Clinic describes the ApoB test as likely more accurate than a standard lipid panel for heart and blood vessel risk.
The protocol
| Units | mg/dL |
| Standard range | about 50–150 (ranges vary by lab) |
| Optimal range | < 100 (ideal level per Cleveland Clinic) |
| <100 | ideal level, per Cleveland Clinic |
| 100-130 | above the Cleveland Clinic ideal level — discuss with your clinician |
| >130 | higher risk of heart and blood vessel disease, per Cleveland Clinic — see your clinician |
| Diet | limit saturated fat as part of a heart-healthy eating plan |
| Movement | regular physical activity |
| Medication | if elevated, discuss the treatments used for high LDL cholesterol with your clinician; do not start or change medication without one |
Full transcript
ApoB counts every particle in your blood that can lodge in an artery wall — LDL, VLDL, IDL and Lp(a) together. Modern lipidology treats it as a sharper risk marker than LDL cholesterol alone. Sixty to eighty is optimal. Eighty to one hundred is borderline. One hundred to one thirty is elevated, and at or above one thirty you take it to a clinician. Less saturated fat, more soluble fibre, weekly aerobic and strength, retest in three to six months. Medication is a conversation with a clinician, never a decision you make from one number. agegen.ai. Generate your prime age! ~~ Mr. Age
