What is the normal range of hdl and ldl in the blood?

By gender and risk: Ldl below 130 is okay for most, <100 is better, people at high risk of cardiac disease are expected to shoot for <70. Hdl for men >40 and >50 for women is normal. Higher readings are generally better, .

Normal is NotHealthy: Normal means common/usual/average behavior. Medical industry defines "normal" as average to include +/-sd (the central 96% of everything), as plenty good enough. What does this have to do with excellence of health? Nothing. Best go for abnormally healthy & check actual lipoprotein values: LDL always in nmol/l, best <700, large-hdl in µmol/l, best >10.
