The level of triglyceride fats circulating in the blood, typically measured after fasting.
Triglycerides are the most common type of fat in the body. They store energy from food. High levels are linked to cardiovascular disease and metabolic dysfunction.

Low triglycerides are generally healthy and associated with good metabolic function.
Possible Symptoms
No symptoms; generally a positive indicator
