What is the cholesterol standard for 60- and 70-year-olds?

Generally, the normal range of total cholesterol for people aged 60 to 70 is approximately 2.9-5.2 mmol/L, and the ideal level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) should be below 3.4 mmol/L. If abnormalities are detected, timely medical consultation is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:

For individuals without underlying diseases, maintaining total cholesterol within 2.9-5.2 mmol/L and LDL-C below 3.4 mmol/L is considered normal. At these levels, lipid metabolism is relatively stable and the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is low.

For individuals with underlying conditions such as hypertension or diabetes, total cholesterol should be controlled below 5.2 mmol/L, and LDL-C should ideally be below 2.6 mmol/L to minimize vascular damage and reduce the likelihood of complications.

Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels, adjusting diet and lifestyle according to individual health status, and following medical advice for intervention when abnormalities occur are recommended.
