LDL Cholesterol Levels

 LDL Cholesterol Levels

I recently visited my doc and he allowed that you calculate
LDL cholesterol the following way (assuming I heard correctly):

LDL = TC -((TRI/5) + HDL)

TC = total cholesterol
TRI = triglycerides
HDL = HDL cholesterol

He allowed that this estimate is valid for triglyceride values up
to about 300.

My question is :

What is a good level of LDL ?  Are there any significant break points
statistically ?
