How do apps to measure cholesterol work?

These tools estimate blood cholesterol levels based on data provided by the user, such as age, sex, weight, height, blood pressure, eating habits, physical activity, family history, etc. They use mathematical algorithms or artificial intelligence to calculate the user's cardiovascular risk and provide guidance on how to prevent or treat high cholesterol. However, they are not able to precisely measure total cholesterol and its fractions – HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol), as this can only be done through a blood test called a lipid profile.

Common questions

How do I know if my cholesterol is high?

To find out if your cholesterol is high, you need to take a blood test called a lipid profile, which measures the levels of total cholesterol and its fractions (HDL, LDL and VLDL). Cholesterol is considered high when the total cholesterol value is equal to or greater than 190 mg/dL, LDL cholesterol levels are above 130 mg/dL, and/or when VLDL cholesterol is above 30 mg/dL.

What causes high cholesterol?

The causes of high cholesterol can be genetic or environmental. Genetics can influence the production and metabolism of cholesterol in the liver, which can lead to a condition called familial hypercholesterolemia. Environmental aspects are related to lifestyle and diet, such as a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, diabetes, among others.

How to reduce cholesterol?

To reduce cholesterol, it is important to adopt healthy habits, such as practicing physical activity regularly, stopping smoking, moderating alcohol consumption, controlling weight, diabetes and blood pressure, and following a balanced diet, rich in fiber, fruits, vegetables and other foods that contain good fats.

Can cholesterol monitoring apps replace blood tests?

No, they do not replace blood tests, as they are not able to directly measure blood cholesterol levels. Apps only estimate these numbers based on information such as age, sex, weight, height, blood pressure, eating habits, family history, etc. This data may not be accurate or sufficient to assess your cardiovascular risk.
