    Lipid Profile Values

    The following appendix offers information regarding desirable and undesirable lipid profile values.

    Lipid Profile

    Cholesterol Lipid Panel Results: Image Permission Acquired by email through Nate Wise BYU-Idaho Dec 2013

     

    Total Cholesterol (TC)

    Category

    Less than 200

    Desirable

    200-239

    Mildly High

    240 and above

    High

     

    HDL

    HDL- Category

    60 and above

    High; Optimal; associated with lower risk

    Less than 40 in men and less than 50 in women

    Low; considered a risk factor for heart disease

     

    Triglycerides

    Triglyceride Category

    Less than 150

    Normal

    150-199

    Mildly High

    200-499

    High

    500 or higher

    Very High

     

    LDL

    LDL Category

    Less than 100

    Optimal

    100-129

    Slightly Above Optimal

    130-159

    Borderline High

    160-189

    High

    190 and above

    Very High

     

    Non-HDL

    Non-HDL Category

    Non-HDL is a reading that includes the cholesterol content of all the lipoproteins that are not part of the HDL classification. LDLs are the most common lipoprotein to examine for heart disease risk, but there are other lipoproteins that can contribute to atherosclerosis. These are sometimes called Very Low-Density Lipoproteins (VLDL) and Intermediate Density Lipoprotein (IDL). The general category of all Non-HDL lipoproteins can be combined with the readings from the LDL category to validate concerns for heart risk profiles.

    Less than 130

    Optimal

    129-159

    Slightly above Optimal

    160-190

    High

    Above 190

    Very High

     

    TC/ HDL

    Category

    Total Cholesterol to HDL ratio (TC /HDL) is a number that reflects how many HDL lipoproteins we have relative to our total cholesterol. A person with a lower HDL value may see that his/her total cholesterol is also low. In this case, a person with a lower HDL value may have a TC/HDL ratio that is fine. This value taken with the other values in the lipid profile help a health care professional get a better idea of the actual heart disease risk.

    Below 3.5

    Optimal

    3.6 to 5.0

    Borderline High to High

    Above 5.0

    High to Very High

     

    12-hour Fasting Glucose (Glu)

    Category

    82 - 110

    Optimal

    111- 125

    Borderline High to High

    Above 126

    High to Diabetic
