In 1970, the rule-of-thumb for a healthy serum cholesterol was 200+age. so... what changed that? a multi-billion dollar drug profit opportunity? so now... they claim, despite a total lack of statistical correlation, that: TOTAL CHOLESTEROL: at or under 200 mg/dL (milligrams (mg) of cholesterol per decileter (dL) of blood). Borderline high is 200-239 and high is 240 and over. LDL (bad) CHOLESTEROL: at or under 100 mg/dL is the goal. Borderline high is 130-159 and high is over 160. HDL (good) CHOLESTEROL: at or higher than 60 mg/dL is best. A score lower than than 40 is considered a heart disease risk factor. TRIGLYCERIDES: normal is under 150. Borderline high is 150-199, and high is 200 or over.
