Cholesterol
Your LDL target depends on your risk.
The LDL target depends on risk: ESC/EAS gives <116 mg/dL (3.0 mmol/L) at low risk and <55 mg/dL (1.4 mmol/L) at very high risk.
| Value | mg/dL (mmol/L) |
|---|---|
| LDL, optimal | <100 (2.6) |
| HDL, low | <40 men, <50 women (1.0; 1.3) |
| Triglycerides, normal | <150 (1.7) |
| Triglycerides, very high | ≥500 (5.6) |
