Overview
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.[1]
Definition
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 values were defined as 1.03 mmol/L (40 mg/dL) and 1.29 mmol/L (50 mg/dL) in men and women respectively.[2] However, based on the risk of cardiovascular disease at levels below 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.[1]
