What is the desirable blood level for cholesterol?

Answer 1

Cholesterol levels should be measured at least once every five years by everyone over the age of 20. The screening test that is usually performed is a blood test called a lipoprotein profile. Experts recommend that men aged 35 and older and women age 45 and older be routinely screened for lipid disorders. The lipoprotein profile includes:LDL (low density lipoprotein cholesterol, also called ""bad"" cholesterol)HDL (high density lipoprotein cholesterol, also called ""good"" cholesterol)

Answer 2

In the average male the normal levels are considered to be from 40 to 50 mg/dl. In the average woman they are 50 to 60 mg/dl. HDL is the god cholesterol and is normal at 40 mg/dl, LDL is the bad cholesterol and is normal at less than 100 mg/dl

Answer 3

The 'desirable' range for plasma cholesterol is 130-200 MG/100ML. Cholesterol is the main component of smooth muscle plaques formed during Atherosclerosis.

Answer 4

HDL cholesterol ideally should be under 60 and the level of LDL cholesterol should be under 100. If you are over by a little bit that's not too bad but these are the ideal numbers.
