I have no idea what units blood cholesterol is measured in I just
know that 5.5 is pretty bad and 2.5 is pretty good.

5.5 ain't so bad. 8.6 is bad. (Don't ask me how I know...)

The year before last, 6.0 was OK

it isn't now

So a change of goalposts gives me a high cholesterol level now

This wasn't a change of goalposts.

BTW, the same thing has happened with BMI in recent years.

If you mean Body Mass Index its a totally discredited system. I have the
same BMI as did Arnold Schwarzenegger when he won the Mr Olympia for the
7th time.

How does that discredit BMI?
Arnold may be unhealthy and suffer because he had a high BMI even if it is
muscle.
