What is the appropriate HDL and LDL ratio in a person?
An HDL level of less than 40 hg/dL is said to be low while if it is lower than 30 hg/dL then it is said to be very low! The levels of LDL are closely related to the health condition of the individual. For example, if someone has heart disease then he is recommended to have LDL levels lower than 100 hg/dL. However, if there are no additional risk factors present then a person with high LDL but 60 HDL is said to be at no risk.
