What is considered a desirable serum level for triglycerides?

Under 100 mg/dl
Under 130 mg/dl
Under 150 mg/dl
Under 200 mg/dl

The correct answer is: Under 150 mg/dl

A desirable serum level for triglycerides is considered to be under 150 mg/dl. This level is significant because maintaining triglycerides below this threshold is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and other metabolic conditions. Elevated triglyceride levels can indicate an increased risk for heart disease, obesity, and can be a marker of other health issues such as type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome. Levels under 150 mg/dl indicate a healthy balance of lipids in the body, promoting better overall health outcomes. While lower levels can be beneficial, 150 mg/dl is a key cutoff that health professionals refer to when assessing lipid profiles and cardiovascular risk.
