What’s the cholesterol standard for 60-70 year olds?

The normal value of total cholesterol for 60-70 year olds is usually less than 5.20mmol/L. Cholesterol is one of the components of lipids. Generally speaking, total cholesterol less than 5.20mmol/L is a more appropriate level for people aged 60~70 years. In the range of 5.20~6.19mmol/L is considered to be a borderline cholesterol level. If it exceeds 6.19mmol/L, hypercholesterolemia is diagnosed. The reference range of HDL cholesterol is 1-2.07mmol/L; LDL cholesterol is usually less than 3.4mmol/L. If there are cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity and so on, cholesterol should be controlled ≤1.8mmol/L. Therefore, it is recommended that people aged 60-70 years old who have elevated cholesterol levels or other uncomfortable symptoms should consult a doctor in a timely manner for standardized diagnosis and treatment.
