National Cholesterol Education Month
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that your body needs. When you have too much cholesterol in your blood, it can build up on your artery walls. Too much cholesterol puts you at risk for heart disease and stroke, two leading causes of death in the United States. But you can take steps to manage your cholesterol levels and lower your risk.
The following chart shows optimal lipid levels for adults:
Desirable Cholesterol Levels | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total cholesterol | Less than 170 mg/dL | |||
| Low LDL ("bad") cholesterol | Less than 110 mg/dL | |||
| High HDL ("good") cholesterol | 35 mg/dL or higher | |||
| Triglycerides | Less than 150 mg/dL | |||
