| Low HDL level cut-off point has been a debate in many surveys. Most recently, it was set to be below 1.0 mmol/L (40 mg/dL) in both men and women.<ref name="pmid12485966">{{cite journal| author=National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (Adult Treatment Panel III)| title=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) final report. | journal=Circulation | year= 2002 | volume= 106 | issue= 25 | pages= 3143-421 | pmid=12485966 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=12485966 }} </ref>

| Low HDL-cholesterol cut-off value has been recently subject to variable changes. In the Pan-European survey of HDL-cholesterol set out to determine the prevalence of low HDL-cholesterol, low HDL cut-off value was defined as 1.03 mmol/L (40 mg/dL) and 1.29 mmol/L (50 mg/dL)in men and women respectively.<ref>{{Cite web | last = | first = | title = Defining the prevalence of low HDL-C in a European cohort of dyslipidaemic patients | url = http://eurheartjsupp.oxfordjournals.org/content/7/suppl_F/F23.full?sid=70412a9e-1bf7-486e-90a9-0ae32b4ad6b1 | publisher = | date = | accessdate = 20 September 2013 }} </ref> However, based on the risk of cardiovascular disease at levels above 35 mg/dL, the [[Adult Treatment Panel guidelines (ATP III)]] panel recognized a higher cut-off value for low HDL levels that is <40 mg/dL in both men and women. It is to be noted that the cut-off value for low HDL is the same for both genders since the use of gender specific cut-point value might cause many low risk women to be eligible for LDL-lowering medications.<ref name="pmid12485966">{{cite journal| author=National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (Adult Treatment Panel III)| title=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) final report. | journal=Circulation | year= 2002 | volume= 106 | issue= 25 | pages= 3143-421 | pmid=12485966 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=12485966 }} </ref>
