More than just: Cholesterol. The short answer is less than 200, however, you need to look at the whole lipid profile. Even if you have normal lipids you need to ensure that your blood pressure, weight, blood glucose are okay and you maintain a good diet and exercise regularly.

Depends, ask your MD: According to the the national cholesterol education program, your ldl-c goal may be as high as 160mg/dl or as low as 70mg/dl depending on your level of risk. However according to the amercan heart association and ada for many individuals standard cholesterol testing might not be a good enough marker of risk, and it may be worth looking at more specific markers such as your LDL particle or apob.
