UK Cholesterol Levels.

Total cholesterol should be 5.0 millimoles per litre (mmol/L) or lower.

The average in the UK is actually around 5.5 mmol/l for men and 5.6 mmol/l for women.

LDL cholesterol should be 3mmol/L or lower

HDL level above 1 mmol/L

Triglyceride level under 1.7 mmol/L

People with higher risks, such as heart disease or high blood pressure will be set lower targets:

Total cholesterol of 4mmol/L or lower

LDL of 2mmol/L or lower

Cholesterol numbers are used to calculate the overall risk of coronary heart disease.

The ratio of total cholesterol to HDL - total cholesterol divided by HDL - should be below 4.

You can fin converter in this link:

You have to be careful with triglyceride conversion!!

UK 5.5= 213 USA. USA triglyceride 139 = 1.6 UK.

These conversion are from man made calculation.

Life style change and regular exercise is better than medication.
