For healthy adults 19 and older, LDL should be less than 100 mg/dL, and HDL should be more than 40 mg/dL. Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Normal HDL and LDL cholesterol ranges vary by age. Cholesterol Levels Your cholesterol levels show how much cholesterol is circulating in your blood. Your HDL (“good” cholesterol) is the one number you want to be high (ideally above 60). Your LDL (“bad” cholesterol) should be below 100. Your total should be below 200. Here, find optimal, high, low, and borderline cholesterol levels for people of different ages. We also describe how to bring down high cholesterol. Recommended total cholesterol levels are under 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) for adults and under 170 mg/dL for children. Females typically need more HDL (good) cholesterol than males.
