A member asked:
What should the average cholesterol level be for a person to be considered healthy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cholesterol Varies: You are asking a very broad question that misses the point. The risks come from a combination of things. The total cholesterol count is nearly irrelevant in the bigger picture. But, the general well known cutoff for normal for this one part of the cholesterol panel is 200 mg/dl or lower.
