current uk guidance is tc < 5 for all except those with coronary artery bypass grafts who should be < 4. HDL > 1 , the higher the better. Trigs < 3 ( although not so important and varies lots with recent food intake).
It is now TC levels that are used to guide treatment whereas previously it was chol/hdl ratios.
Statin treatment is still recommended if high risk irrespective of cholesterol level though as reduces risks through other means also e.g. by stabilising deposits in vessels.

This is one of the most frequently used Scottish guidelines.
