Dr, Sinatra’s take on cholesterol levels:

Total cholesterol: 180–240 mg/dL

• Total HDL cholesterol: 40–65 mg/dL for women; 35–65 mg/dL for men (Remember that HDL levels much higher than 65 mg/dL may be dysfunctional.)
• HDL cholesterol subtypes: Greater than 25 mg/dL for HDL2; greater than 15 mg/dL for HDL3
• Total LDL cholesterol: 80–130 mg/dL
• Lp(a): <30 mg/dL
• Triglycerides: 50–100 mg/dL
• Triglycerides subtype VLDL3: less than 10 mg/dL
