Near that of

Hi

I'm not sure about the following:

Cholesterol levels near that of an athlete.

Cholesterol levels near to that of an athlete.

Is any of the sentences right? If so, which one would you prefer?
  

Top answer

Cholesterol levels near those of an athlete. Cholesterol levels near to those of an athlete. #2 is not wrong, but #1 is much more common and natural.
