What is the goal HDL level for women?

  1. < 40

  2. >= 50

  3. >= 40

  4. < 150

The correct answer is: >= 50

The goal HDL level for women is greater than or equal to 50. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is known as "good" cholesterol because it helps remove other forms of cholesterol from your bloodstream. Having a higher level of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. Therefore, maintaining an HDL level of 50 or higher is considered optimal for women.
