Cholesterol levels can vary based on age, sex assigned at birth, and other factors. Here are the general guidelines for healthy cholesterol levels:

• Total cholesterol: Less than 200 mg/dL
• LDL cholesterol: Less than 100 mg/dL
• HDL cholesterol: 50 mg/dL or higher
• Non-HDL cholesterol: Less than 130 mg/dL

Its important to note that if you have heart disease or other risk factors, your healthcare provider may recommend different target levels for your LDL and non-HDL cholesterol. For example, they may want your LDL level to be below 70 mg/dL. Additionally, the ratio of your total cholesterol to HDL may also be calculated, and a ratio below four is generally recommended.

Its recommended to talk with your healthcare provider about your cholesterol test results and what they mean for you. Depending on your results and other risk factors, your healthcare provider may recommend lifestyle changes or medications to help manage your cholesterol levels.
