Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High density lipoprotein (HDL) levels are known as "good cholesterol" and are typically associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Therefore, they are highly predictive of CHD risk. Low HDL levels have been shown to be a significant risk factor for CHD. HDL (high-density lipoprotein) levels are often referred to as "good" cholesterol and are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. Therefore, higher HDL levels are highly predictive of CHD (coronary heart disease) risk.
