Optimal levels for HDL (good) cholesterol are considered 60 mg/dL and higher. Slightly less great but still good levels are between 50 and 59 mg/dL. Levels that cause concern are considered 39 mg/dL or lower for men, and 49 mg/dL or lower for women.
Healthy total cholesterol levels â the sum of your HDL and LDL â should stay below 200 mg/dL. To break down that number, your acceptable level of LDL (âbadâ) cholesterol should be less than 160 mg/dl, 130 mg/dL, or 100 mg/dl. The difference in numbers really depends on your individual risk factors for heart disease. Your HDL (âgoodâ) cholesterol should be at least 35 mg/dL, and preferably higher.
