ApoB: The Heart-Risk Number Missing From Your Report

ApoB counts the actual artery-clogging particles; LDL-C only estimates the cholesterol they carry

Many Indians have 'normal' LDL but high ApoB — a hidden risk called discordance

The test costs roughly ₹500–900, needs no special prep, and you can simply ask for it

Rough targets: under 90 mg/dL for most, under 80 if higher-risk, under 65 if very high-risk

If ApoB is high, the fix is the same proven toolkit: diet, exercise, and statins when needed
