Answer 1

Total Cholesterol

Less than 200 mg/dL Normal level that puts you at lower risk for heart disease.
200 to 239 mg/dL Borderline high. A level of more that 200 mg/dL increases your risk.
240 mg/dL and above High. This level more than doubles the risk for heart disease.

HDL Cholesterol (good)

60 mg/dL and above Normal level. An HDL of 60 mg/dL and above is considered protective against heart disease.
40 to 59 mg/dL Moderate risk.
Less than 40 mg/dL Abnormal, low, a major risk factor for heart disease

LDL Cholesterol (bad)

Less than 100 Normal level.
100 - 129 Low borderline.
130 - 159 Borderline.
160 - 189 Abnormal, high, increased risk factor for heart disease.
over 190 Abnormal, high, a major risk factor for heart disease.
