It is important to note that while in the popular press LDL may be called "bad cholesterol", much recent research has shown that is it not necessarily bad. It is an essential transport system for lipids the human body needs to survive, including cholesterol. There is both "large" and "small" particle LDL, and while only small is associated with cholesterol-related issues, neither is "bad". Even "small" LDL is necessary to conduct nutrients to vessels that "large" LDL cannot reach.

LDL cholesterol levels should be less than 100 mg/dL. Levels of 100 to 129 mg/dL are acceptable for people with no health issues but may be of more concern for those with heart disease or heart disease risk factors. A reading of 130 to 159 mg/dL is borderline high and 160 to 189 mg/dL is high.


LDL calculation Formula:
LDL = TC - HDL - TG/5.0
Where:
LDL: Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol
TC: Total Cholesterol
HDL: High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol
TG: Triglycerides
