Table 1. Diagnostic Criteria for Dyslipidemia (Blood Collected from Patients in Fasting State)^*.

LDL-C	≥ 140 mg/dL	Hyper-LDL cholesterolemia
	120–139 mg/d	Borderline hyper-LDL cholesterolemia**
HDL-C	< 40 mg/dL	Hypo-HDL cholesterolemia
TG	≥ 150 mg/dL	Hypertriglyceridemia
Non-HDL cholesterol	≥ 170 mg/dL	Hyper-non-HDL cholesterolemia
	150–169 mg/dL	Borderline hyper-non-HDL cholesterolemia**

^*“Fasting state” is defined as fasting for at least 10 h. However, consumption of liquids with no calories, such as water and tea without milk or sugar, is allowed.

^**If screening shows borderline hyper-LDL cholesterolemia and borderline hyper-non-HDL cholesterolemia, investigate whether a high-risk condition is present and consider the need for treatment.

• LDL-C is derived using the Friedewald formula (TC.HDL-C.TG/5) or through a direct method.
• Non-HDL-C (TC.HDL-C) or a direct method is used if the TG level is 400 mg/dL and greater or if postprandial blood is collected. However, if hypertriglyceridemia is absent during screening, the risk shall be assessed with the consideration that the difference from LDL-C can possibly turn out to be smaller than + 30 mg/dL.
