Normal triglyceride levels are defined as being below a certain threshold, which varies depending on age. For adults, a healthy triglyceride level is below 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). For children and teens (ages 10-19), a healthy level is lower than 90 mg/dL (according to the reference from April 19, 2023).
Here's a breakdown of triglyceride levels in adults:
| Category | Triglyceride Level (mg/dL) |
|---|---|
| Healthy | Below 150 |
| Borderline High | 150 - 199 |
| High | 200 - 499 |
It's important to note that these values are general guidelines and may vary slightly depending on the laboratory and individual circumstances. Consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
