What is the optimal total cholesterol level?

Less than 180
200
220
250

The correct answer is: 200

An optimal total cholesterol level is generally recognized as being less than 200 mg/dL. While various factors contribute to cardiovascular health, maintaining cholesterol levels within this range helps reduce the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular conditions. A total cholesterol level of 200 mg/dL serves as a crucial threshold; levels at or below this are frequently associated with lower risks of associated health issues. In contrast, levels above this range, such as 220 mg/dL or 250 mg/dL, can be considered borderline high to high, respectively, indicating an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. Levels below 180 mg/dL are also desirable, but the key reference point for conveying optimal health is widely accepted at the 200 mg/dL mark.
