According to this site, here are the numbers considered normal:
- Total cholesterol (in milligrams): 165-200
- LDL (in milligrams): 100 or less
- Triglycerides (in milligrams): less than 150
Normal cholesterol means a low ratio of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) to high-density lipoproteins (HDL). LDLs are fractions of cholesterol usually related to increased risk for cardiovascular disease. HDLs are fractions of cholesterol usually related to lower risks for cardiovascular disease. Triglycerides, a type of fat molecule measured separately from cholesterol, should also be low.
I would know this Friday if I measure up.
