High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) > 60 mg/dl is the best option. HDL-C is protective against heart disease and an HDL-C level of > 60 mg/dl is considered a negative risk factor for heart disease. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a major risk factor for heart disease, and a level of 100 mg/dl is desirable but not enough to offset other major risk factors. Total cholesterol < 200 mg/dl and triglycerides < 150 mg/dl are desirable levels but not necessarily powerful enough to offset other major risk factors.
