Current recommendations encourage cholesterol screening in only those children, starting at 2 years old, who are at risk for having high cholesterol.
Acceptable cholesterol: less than 170
Borderline cholesterol: 170-199
High cholesterol: 200 or more
consult a dietician it doest go by weight it goes by height an dother things that only they could tell u
it depends what type of cooking oil you use to prepare them ;P
Whats the average cholesterol. There is no "average" there is only a healthy limit. Your 12 and they don't really change with age you should try to keep your cholesterol less than 200 mg/dL. Desirable level that puts you at lower risk for coronary heart disease. A cholesterol level of 200 mg/dL or higher raises your risk.
There is no "average". your cholesterol is determined by a combination of your genetic makeup and your diet. It isn't even tested in children unless a very rare disease state is present You can find out what healthy cholesterol levels are by searching on yahoo or etc....
Whether yours is at a healthy level is based on two different kinds of cholesterol. One should be high and the other low. the one which should be low should be less than 90 the one which should be high is considered excellant at 45 or above. I know that sounds backward but thats how it is.
