Understanding Cholesterol Levels: What They Mean for You

Cholesterol is a naturally occurring substance in your body, but you can also take in too much of it through your diet. It’s essential to be aware of your cholesterol levels by checking them regularly because high LDL and low HDL levels can increase your risk of heart disease.

What are the normal ranges for cholesterol levels?

The normal, or average, range for HDL is above 40 mg/dL for people who are assigned male at birth, and above 50 for those assigned female at birth. For all healthy adults, the average LDL range should be below 110 mg/dL.

Knowing your cholesterol levels can help you understand your risk for heart disease. If you have high cholesterol, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, or medication to help lower your levels.

How often should I get my cholesterol level checked?

Cholesterol testing should start in childhood, with a healthy child’s first lipid panel done when they are between 9 and 11 years old. For adults, the frequency of testing depends on age and risk factors.
