The "rough and ready" on Freidwald calculated LDL is that if your HDL is in the 30's or 40's and your Trig is in the 60 to 80 range, a calculated LDL of 120 is high and you are probably around 90.

Makes one hell of a difference in medication. They will bomb you with statins at 120, and leave you alone at 90 if you don't have metabolic syndrome.
