| High HDL level in adults 18 years of age and above has been defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) as an increase in the serum HDL level ≥60mg/dL (1.55 mmol/L). HDL level ≥60mg/dL (1.55 mmol/L) is considered normal in children 2 to 17 years of age.<ref name="pmid11368702">{{cite journal| author=Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults| title=Executive Summary of The Third Report of The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, And Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol In Adults (Adult Treatment Panel III). | journal=JAMA | year= 2001 | volume= 285 | issue= 19 | pages= 2486-97 | pmid=11368702 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=11368702 }} </ref>

| Normally, HDL levels range from 40 mg/dL to 60 mg/dL. Based on many epidemiological studies regarding HDL, value of ≥60 mg/dL is considered high. The serum HDL level is recommended to be as high as possible, but at least ≥40 mg/dL in men, and ≥50 mg/dL in women.<ref>{{cite web | url= http://eurheartjsupp.oxfordjournals.org/content/8/suppl_F/F4.full | last=Sirtori | first=Cesare R. | title=HDL and the progression of atherosclerosis: new insights | date=October 2006 | work=European Heart Journal Supplements}}</ref>
