At what triglyceride level is lifestyle modification recommended?

Lifestyle modification is recommended when triglyceride levels are between 150 and 499 mg/dL. This range indicates that the individual is at risk for cardiovascular disease and other metabolic issues, and lifestyle changes such as dietary adjustments, increased physical activity, and weight management can significantly lower triglyceride levels and reduce such risks.

When triglyceride levels are below 150 mg/dL, the levels are considered normal, and lifestyle modifications may not be necessary unless other risk factors are present. Levels above 500 mg/dL raise concerns for pancreatitis and require more immediate medical intervention, often including medications alongside lifestyle changes. Therefore, option B correctly identifies the range where lifestyle modification becomes a critical aspect of managing health and reducing potential complications related to elevated triglycerides.
