Counting Cholesterol

The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) issued this data about adult guidelines for total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (the bad stuff), and HDL cholesterol (the good stuff). These cholesterol numbers apply to people ages 20 to 74:

Total Cholesterol (mg/dL)	Status
<200 td="">	Excellent
200-239	Borderline high
>240	High
LDL Cholesterol (mg/dL)	Status
<100 td="">	Excellent
100-129	Pretty good
130-159	Borderline high
160-189	High
>190	Very high
HDL Cholesterol (mg/dL)	Status
<40 td="">	Low
>60	High
