The real question is "How low a risk?" that takes into account a person's factors, such as her age, other illnesses, her HDL (good cholesterol), her TG, her LDL (bad cholesterol), her family history of heart disease, whether or not she is overweight, if she exercises, family history of diabetes, personal history of diabetes, etc...
