Optimal <60 U/L
Moderate Risk 60-69 U/L
High Risk >=70 U/L
Based on a recent study of an "apparently healthy"
and non-metabolic syndrome population (1), the following
cut-offs have been defined for OxLDL: A cut-off of <60U/L
defines a population with a low relative risk of developing
metabolic syndrome, a range of 60-69 defines a
population with a moderate relative risk (2.8 fold)
and >=70 defines a population with a
high relative risk (3.5 fold).
