“We suggested sex-specific reference limits for men (optimal 40-70 mg/dL [1.03-1.81 mmol/L]; extremely high >90 mg/dL [2.33 mmol/L]) and women (optimal 50-110 mg/dL [1.29-2.84]; extremely high >130 mg/dL [3.36 mmol/L]). ”

Fig. 3. Multivariate adjusted HR for 10-year MACE by HDL-C levels (continuous variables). The relationship between HDL-C levels on a continuous scale and 10-year MACE risk was U-shaped for men (A) and women (B).
Abbreviations: HR, hazard ratio; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; MACE, major adverse cardiovascular events (new-onset angina, acute myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, stroke, and all-cause mortality).
