What should the ldl & hdl count be for a black male, 210lbs, age 60?

general rules about our body lipids count:

-LDL less than 100
-HDL more than 40 (male),more than 45 (females)
-TG less than 150

note:

-Total body lipids/total cholesterol = (( LDL+TG )) - HDL
-Total cholesterol count must be less than 200
-LDL,TG are harmful lipid forms...should be reduced
-HDL is a useful lipid form...should be increased

best wishes

Normal adult LDL = 62 to 130, optimal is 81

Normal HDL = 120-240, optimal 180.

This and other stuff about cholesterol:

The total cholesterol level should be less than 200mg/dL. For a healthy adult the LDL values should be less than the 100mg/dL, the HDL values should be 40 mg/dL or higher. triglycerides are important too, and this level should be less than 150 mg/dL.
