What is good cholesterol for someone over 70?

For people over 70, the target range for LDL (bad) cholesterol is generally recommended to be below 130 mg/dL. If you have additional risk factors for heart disease, your LDL target may be lower.

For HDL (good) cholesterol, generally, anything above 40 mg/dL for men and 50 mg/dL for women is considered to be good.
