Korean adults showed U-curve associations of HDL-C with mortality, regardless of sex, and age. Younger adults had a lower optimal range and a stronger positive association with mortality than older adults in the high HDL-C range. Even moderately high HDL-C levels are not necessarily a sign of good health, especially in young adults.
