==Overview==
==Overview==
Epidemiological studies have shown that high concentrations of HDL (over 60 mg/dL) have protective value against [[cardiovascular disease]]s such as ischemic [[stroke]] and [[myocardial infarction]]. Low concentrations of HDL (below 40 mg/dL for men, below 50 mg/dL for women) are a positive risk factor for these atherosclerotic diseases.
For 2009–2010, 21.3% of adults aged 20 and over had low HDL cholesterol (less than 40 mg/dL) in the United States. The percentage of adults with low HDL cholesterol was higher for men (31.4%) than for women (11.9%). Percentages among men were also higher than those among women of the same racial and ethnic group. For men, the percentage with low HDL cholesterol was lower among non-Hispanic black men than non-Hispanic white or Hispanic men. No racial or ethnic differences were found among women in the percentage with low HDL cholesterol.<ref name=NCHS>Margaret D. Carroll, M.S.P.H.; Brian K. Kit, M.D., M.P.H.; and David A.

Data from the landmark [[Framingham Heart Study]] showed that for a given level of LDL, the risk of heart disease increases 10-fold as the HDL varies from high to low. Conversely, for a fixed level of HDL, the risk increases 3-fold as LDL varies from low to high.

Overview

For 2009–2010, 21.3% of adults aged 20 and over had low HDL cholesterol (less than 40 mg/dL) in the United States. The percentage of adults with low HDL cholesterol was higher for men (31.4%) than for women (11.9%). Percentages among men were also higher than those among women of the same racial and ethnic group. For men, the percentage with low HDL cholesterol was lower among non-Hispanic black men than non-Hispanic white or Hispanic men. No racial or ethnic differences were found among women in the percentage with low HDL cholesterol.[1]
