LDL – 0 to 130 good
HDL – 40 to 80 good
Total Cholesterol – 100 to 200 good

That is ok if you do not have other risk factors such as diabetes.

Your cholesterol is within normal limits. You LDL is also within normal limits. Your HDL is borderline.

These are the normal limits:
cholesterol 200 and below
LDL 130 and below
HDL 40 and below

Hope that helps.
