Yup. We get told our cholesterol is high, our triglycerides are high, our blood pressure is high, we're pre-diabetic, we ignore it and come back the next year and get prescribed more pills.
I suppose that might be true of a lot of the western world. The good thing about regular blood tests is that, in theory, you can catch things early before you have symptoms and they become serious problems.
Every blood test I've had, has come back with good results. I have low blood pressure, and I don't take anything other than a few dietary vitamins daily. I'm fortunate in that I established good dietary habits back in my early twenties. It can be difficult to break old habits though, so we'll see how I fare now that I've crossed the age where things start going downhill.
