Cholesterol and triglyceride tests measure the amount of fatty substances in the blood. Desirable cholesterol and triglyceride levels are slightly different for children than adults. The document provides tables listing the desirable levels for total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and VLDL cholesterol in adults. Having high levels of LDL or triglycerides and low levels of HDL increases the risk for heart disease.
