Epidemiological studies have shown that high concentrations of HDL (over 60 mg/dL) have protective value against cardiovascular diseases such as ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction. Low concentrations of HDL (below 40 mg/dL for men, below 50 mg/dL for women) increase the risk for atherosclerotic diseases.
The updated version was modified to include dyslipidemia, age range, hypertension treatment, smoking, and total cholesterol, and it excluded diabetes, because Type 2 diabetes meanwhile was considered to be a CHD Risk Equivalent, having the same 10-year risk as individuals with prior CHD.

Food intake prior to testing may cause elevated levels, up to 20%. Normal level is defined as less than 150 mg/dL. [46] Borderline high is defined as 150 to 199 mg/dL. [46] High level is between 200 and 499 mg/dL. [46] Greater than 500 mg/dL is defined as very high, [46] and is associated with pancreatitis and requires medical treatment. [47]
Rates of high total cholesterol in the United States in 2010 are just over 13%, down from 17% in 2000. [89] Average total cholesterol in the United Kingdom is 5.9 mmol/L, while in rural China and Japan, average total cholesterol is 4 mmol/L.

The metabolic syndrome is the co-occurrence of metabolic risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and hypertension). The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome increases with age reaching close to 50% of people over 60 years old in the USA. [40] as
