How high must LDL cholesterol levels be to pose a health risk?

This is a lipid profile indicator, commonly known as “good cholesterol” (HDL cholesterol). If this value falls below 2.0 mmol/L (or 77 mg/dL, depending on the unit used), it indicates an elevated risk—potentially signaling dyslipidemia. Prolonged hyperlipidemia may lead to atherosclerosis, increasing the risk of coronary heart disease, cerebral arteriosclerosis, and related conditions. Management involves adopting a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and following medical guidance for treatment and periodic follow-up testing.
