NCEP/ATP III Proposed Cholesterol Goal Modifications

Risk Category*

LDL Goal (mg/dL)

High risk: CHD and CHD risk equivalents (diabetes)

<100

(optional goal <70)†

Moderately high risk: multiple (2+) risk factors (10-year risk 10% to 20 %)

<130

(optional goal <100)‡

Moderate risk: 2+ risk factors (10-year risk <10%)

<130

Lower risk: zero to one risk factor

<160

*Risk factors include cigarette smoking, hypertension (BP ≥140/90 mm Hg or on antihypertensive medication), HDL cholesterol <40 mg/dL, family history of premature CHD (male <55 years, females <65 years) and age (males >45 years, females >55 years).

 †LDL goal of <70 mg/dL is a reasonable therapeutic option in patients at very high risk for CVD (diabetes plus CVD). Recommendation based on new clinical trial evidence.

‡LDL goal of <100 mg/dL is a reasonable therapeutic option in patients at moderately high risk for CVD (2+ risk factors and 10-year risk 10% to 20%). Recommendation based on new clinical trial evidence.
