Achieve lipid profile goals:
Achieve LDL, HDL, triglyceride and total cholesterol goals. The Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol has established that the following lipid profile is optimal (as cited in Lichtenstein, 2006): LDL optimal under 100 mg/dl, near optimal 100-129 mg/dL, borderline high 130-159 mg/dL, high 160-189 mg/dL, and very high over 190 mg/dL. No specific goals for HDL and triglycerides exist but HDL under 40 mg/dL for men and under 50 mg/dL for women as wells a s a triglyceride level of over 150 mg/dL are all associated with metabolic syndrome. For more information about treatment of elevated cholesterol levels, please see the hyperlipidemia section of Preventive Health Advisor.
