Answer
Normal CHOL is 100-200 mg/dL
HDL normal is 35 - 60
LDL normal is 50 - 130
However it must be noted that total cholesterol counts below 180 mg/dl increase the risk for hemorrhagic stroke; below 180 cholesterol levels are inversely associated with risk.
Total cholesterol counts above 200 mg/dl may be normal and healthy for some people, as the ratio of LDL to HDL cholesterol is considered a more important factor in prediction of disease risk. Women tend to benefit more from an increase in HDL rather than lowering of LDL, whereas men tend to benefit from a decrease in LDL when cholesterol abnormalities or heart disease risk factors exist. Further studies are needed regarding cholesterol profile differences between genders to provide more accurate and individualized treatment.
