your ratio is still good so not immediate concern. Like others have said, you really want that number >50.

Mine over a period of years held consistent at 111-140 total with 58-62 HDL.

In the end, its all genetics.

Behavior is a very strong modifier of HDL levels. Work out (30+ minutes of physical activity a day, 4+ days/week), drink 2 glasses of Pinot Noir a day if you're a male, one glass of Pinot Noir a day if you're a female. It's definitely not all genetics.
