In the study they mostly measured total cholesterol (S-TC), but reference other studies that suggest it may raise LDL ("bad cholesterol").
The level of increase they found was, at most, 0.48 mmol/L, which is around a 5% increase (convert from mmol/L to mg/dL, then based on a 200 mg/dL ideal).
So my TL;DR: Even assuming all the S-TC increase was actually LDL (unlikely), you're a woman, and use the unhealthiest brewing method (what the study was about), it still isn't a health problem by itself.
Now can you consider coffee unhealthy? Perhaps, but I feel like that was the case without this info.
