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.
If you have known cardiovascular disease, optimal lipid management calls for your low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to be less than 100, total cholesterol less than 200, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) greater than 40.our goal -- the ideal cholesterol numbers -- are a bit of a moving target, but current medical guidelines call for total cholesterol of under 200. Good cholesterol (HDL) should be above 40 for men and above 50 for women. Bad cholesterol (LDL) needs to be as close to 70 as possible.
