Good HDL LDL Ratio
by: Anonymous

Hello Derb,

Alba from Cholesterol HDL LDL.

Your figures refer that your total cholesterol is moderately high and triglycerides are very high.

Your HDL Cholesterol ratio is little bit higher.
Keep in mind that there are various ways of measuring the HDL cholesterol ratio.

In your case the ratio is measured this way:
HDL / Total cholesterol = 34 / 179 = 5.3

In this case the aim is to keep the ratio below 5.0, and the optimum according to American Heart Association is 3.5

Another HDL LDL cholesterol ratio is calculated in this way:

HDL / LDL = 34 / 77 = 0.4

In this case, the goal is to keep the ratio higher than 0.4 and you're ok.

However, go on keeping your ratio as normal as you're doing now.

Hope I helped. Please do not hesitate to send us other inquiries you might have.
