Because LDL cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease, it's the main focus of cholesterol-lowering treatment. Your target LDL number can vary, depending on your underlying risk of heart disease.
Most people should aim for an LDL level below 130 mg/dL (1.3 g/l). If you have other risk factors for heart disease, your target LDL may be below 100 mg/dL . If you're at very high risk of heart disease, you may need to aim for an LDL level below 70 mg/dL . In general, the lower your LDL cholesterol level is, the better. There is no evidence that really low LDL cholesterol levels are harmful.
>>So your LDL level is on the borderline normal if you have no risks
Risks INCLUDE :
-age older than 45 if you're a man, or older than 55 if you're a woman
-previous heart stroke or disease
-peripheral artery disease in hands and legs
-smoking
-High blood pressure
-Low HDL cholesterol
-Family history of early heart disease
-Elevated lipoprotein (a), another type of fat (lipid) in your blood
if you have any of these risks you cholesterol level must be less than that ,you can achieve lower LDL or cholesterol level through your lifestyle exercise and food diet .
as much as you LDL lower you will have lower risk to heart stroke and problems .
