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.
Target Range. Healthy LDL levels fall within the optimal target range, which is less than 100 mg/dL. If you have a history of heart disease, your target range is under 70 mg/dL. Near optimal is between 100 and 129. Levels between 130 and 159 mg/dL are considered borderline high, while over 160 mg/dL is considered high.
